No doubt there a A LOT more big deer killed now than prior to the 3 buck limit. I bet the average score of bucks posted, just on this site, have gone up by 15"-20".
And, I bet you are right about being posted. That does not equate to being killed.
I agree that Education is critical! And, I also agree that the age structure of the harvest has shifted due to the Limit and Education. SO, it is a Win!
However, it has also given rise to a certain snobbery and increased greed by a certain group of hunters. They do not realize that they are by far in the Minority. And, they seek to force their opinions and ideas on others. That turns myself, and many others, off. It also drives many people away from posting and sharing their hunts and experiences. I personally feel that we should encourage others to hunt and enjoy Fellowship in the experience.
