I read Durkin's artice yesterday regarding the deer harvest numbers trying to spin it as positive that we're back close to what it was in the mid-80's for when most hunters didn't seem to complain like they do now.
There is a key difference, Hunter's Choice. While the kill number was similar, you can deduce that we had more deer on the 80's because many hunters did not have an option to shoot a doe but we saw plenty of does running around and seeing deer made the hunt even if a tag was not filled feel better.
I'm not pointing this out as a complaint or to even say it was better then or better now, I just want everyone to think about what is not being mentioned or considered.
