These people are telling you and the PGC that the herd has been overharvested in some areas.Why don't you believe them?
Think about this for a minute. We have heard that the deer are being wipe out here or there since the first bonus tags came out. Yet the annual kill continues to rise. Wouldnt it stand to reason that the kill would have to crash if the doomsayers are correct?
I will tell you what I've observed of late. We no longer have that massive kill on opening day but the kill is more strung out. Hence we dont see as many deer taken on the days that they traditionally were. (This is only a theory from personal observation)
One things for sure, other than one member here who claims that the doe kill means nothing,(yeah right) no one has been able to explain why the kill numbers havent crashed if deer numbers are really down that badly.
