A missed opportunity for sure!

Speaking of that, and knowing your efficient use of the deer you kill Lugnut, do you use them "fries" too?

25 or so years ago eastern Washington went to a three point minimum (one side) for mule deer. Everyone whined about it for a few years. I don't hear anyone complaining now, all those spikes and 2x2's that were being shot are now surviving to become nice mature bucks.

Thanks, but no rocky mountain oysters for me.

Last time I went to MO. I saw the luckiest buck on the face of the earth. When I first saw him. I almost pulled the trigger..REAL big deer.about 18" wide..heavy beams...then I got the chance to count points..3 on one side and a big fork on the other. I understand the reason for having restrictions but this buck needed killing.

How many years it take? Been over 20 here since the nonsense started and the biggest difference I see is hardly anyone shoots one now,

That would be....nuts.....

It seems like only a few years. It doesn't necessarily boost the population, but the quality of the bucks improves. They are still subject to ups and downs, the downs usually due to bad winter; nothing you can do about that,

I don't raise deer but I do watch them grow up. A lot of the ones I watch, fed here from nipple to death and get shot on the public ground next door. I am the neighbor you want to hunt next door t, count on it.

We ate 10 deer since last season, buck and doe

Not true at all.

Lol, you believe their propaganda

I'd suggest you not say that part out loud. Someone might take that as gospel.

lol, almost forgot you’re a typical PA hunter.

Lol

Game commission could say the sun rises every morning and y’all would say it rises every three days at 2pm.

Lol

That's right, 50 years worth and know bs when I see it. Hundreds of customers thru the shop and hardly any shoot a buck anymore compared to before the war on Does.

Ok

To Wagglers point, what does get shot are larger on average but far and few in between.

The processors I know will tell you your
sc democrat post is full of puckie.

.. what is puckie?

Ok

Same thing as what the game comm. is shoveling Savell
