You' ve never hunted an area where the deer are bigger, have you ?
Yes
Re-read what I posted, its regulated with special draw.
regulated by who? what happens to someone if they try to hunt it without a tag? Is there someone gaurding every entry to the thousands of acres ensuring only tag carrying hunters??
I' ve never seen a buck step into a food plot during hunting season. One week after until 1 week before, yes, during, no.
There is no way every deer disappears from the food plots to exactly coincide with hunting season.........I agree 100% that mature bucks are smart and crafty but you are giving them a little too much credit I think. Maybe once they see or smell any sign of human intrusion they are gone but you act like they know the opening date of the season or something. They may know as the weather changes hunters will follow but let' s not get dramatic.
