In my personal experience, I am certain that is the case bigt!

Heck; I don't even like to hunt and not see anything!

There was a happy medium that we passed about 6 or 8 years ago in our area.

The "can't shoot enough does" mentality is SO ingrained in people nowadays, though.....that grown men that have NEVER set foot on, or even near, the property that you hunt on will get on this forum and bash you for not knowing how to hunt, being a consumer of wildlife or some other QDM BS while telling you how irresponsible you are to NOT being trying to shoot more when you tell them how few there are!!!
