Unless you have an awful big piece of property that you can control as far as what's being killed, what you mentioned happens most of the time and why a deer you pass gets killed later on an adjacent piece of property. That is also why I'm against QDM point restrictions when the area has so much private property where the owners are told what they can and can't shoot when it's my belief that it should be up to the property owner. Public land is a completely different ball game depending on the condition of the herd, buck to doe ratio, etc.
