definitely has changed. i remember watching some last year all the show were "bucks of tecomate" and they would shoot huge deer. its is a huge difference now. When i really want to watch some realistic hunting i watch my dvd's of drury outdoors dream season 3. like most of us they try and get a nice mature deer, but when the season starts winding down i have seen them settle for small 8's some 6 points even just to fill the freezer. i like it a lot better than watching those high fenced hunting shows were you know everytime they are going to take a huge buck and none of them ever miss. i hope it stays this way.
