I never said that. How many other hunters am I supposed to care about? I'll take them hunting, I'll teach them how to hunt, but I can't do it all for 1M guys. Hunting has changed. If you don't adapt then you get left behind. If you want your deer led to you on a string then you can't say you're a great hunter and frankly I don't consider that hunting. Creating a huge deer population for nothing more than hunters to fill their tags with is poor management.

I will always get my deer! Do you know why?


You keep saying that and nobody is saying any different. There are less deer. I've said it several times. Is there a reason you think people don't under stand this? I'm not sure what you think I'm making excuses for. I used to see, on average, about 40 deer a night driving my 'usual' route through the ANF. I'm now averaging about 12 deer a night. The diffenece is this: of the 40 deer I used to see it was very uncommon for even one of them to be a buck. On the occaision that I did see a buck it was seldom anything larger than a spike or Y. Now, out of the 12 deer I'm seeing now, I almost always see bucks every night and usually multiple bucks....with legal racks. I'm possitive of seeing 22 different bucks this summer....only about 4 are sub-legal and there are, of course, those that aren't able to be identified, but are bucks for sure. Last evening I took my drive and saw 8 deer.....2 bucks(one legal), 2 doe, 4 fawns.
