[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5101070, member: 17"] You couldn't be more right. I can't believe how many trail-cam pics of mature bucks I see from hunters all across the state. 20 years ago, that was unthinkable. I ran my first photo census in 1999 (right after the scientific paper describing the technique was published). I had 21 bucks using my property that year, including one that was 3 1/2! At the time, I was blown away. I thought it couldn't get any better. My census last year? 47 bucks, including seven 3 1/2 year-olds and 5 mature bucks. And these types of numbers are now commonplace across the region. And why so many older bucks? Far less hunting pressure by far more educated hunters. [/QUOTE]
