well if you weren't getting nice bucks in potter co while seeing 50 deer a day then it was no one's fault but yours. Everyone I know around town has killed many nice 8,10, and occasionally a 12 pt over the last 50 yrs or so. sure we killed our share of spike too but never whined about it. No one I hunt with EVER killed a deer they weren't proud of an thankful for too!
1 other thing I don't understand about your post....your not wanting to go back to hunters killing the 1st spike that walked up to them....that choice is each hunter's to make not somebody who is only happy killing rack bucks to make for them... weren't you the one that said if you have the tags then who has the right to say you shouldn't fill them all?.....kinda walking pretty close to the edge there aren't you?
