I've let over 20 bucks go this year, 4 eights, a bunch of six points etc..., and I highly doubt 1/2 of them make it. My kids are the only reason I let deer go, beciase NOBODY around me does. It's almost comical when I tell a neighbor about letting a 13-14" eight point go, they say "man I woulda shot that one". I'm kinda raising deer for other people and sometimes it gets old.
I'd LOVE to know how many deer were killed county by county and the make-up of those harvests.
