I think it can be cuz of the antler resrtictions,I hunt East for everything but Elk just because of that, ya don't draw a permit(which I'm not in favor of) and you get to bag a Spike only[:'(]

Not that I wouldn't take a Spike, but I'd be more for bigger antler resrtictions then what they have on your side(for the most part)

The other reason maybe is us over here on the "left" side[:'(] are just sick an Dog tired of the brush[:'(] You ever get out to the coast and head down throught the Hemlock/blackberry/slile/fern jungles? Man they get old wuick especially on them drizzly day
