atlas - first of all you are the one bringing up credibility all the time and if you you haven't noticed, most (all but 2 from what I can see) are basically agreeing on this debate - that is what I meant by "believe", guess I should have said "agree"
forgive me for my terrible blunder
What I do have a problem with is other people who have never even been there (YOU and a few others) telling me they know more about what is going on in my area then I and every other hunter that have spent our whole lives hunting in.
valid point - realize we are trying to talk in generalities. however, I do think that the herd, overall, is quite heathly and growing, but there are always areas that can have reduced local populations (see my reponse to NYB above).
