in 4b we are not seeing any bigger bucks, and we are seeing less deer this year overall.
While taking in hay or combining oats we have seen no fawns.

Out total deer sightings this summer are about 10 total (on past years we may see 50-60 over the summer).

But the harvest stats will tell the tale for the year. If they continue as they have for the last few years then someone is blowing smoke.

Buck harvests have declined by tens of thousands the last 3 years, and that sort of blows the 'more bucks' theory.
