Joe, interesting. I had just posted about something akin to this in my journal. I joined in late 2019, posted my hitlists in 2020 and 2021. In every year before this we saw deer advance past 3.5 yo.
After I posted here, both 2021 and 2022 I've got zero 3.5 or better my neighbor with 500 acres and hunts it well -some- should have made it..
I'll abide by whatever's decided - I had decided in Sep I wouldn't post up good bucks again.
Correlation does equal causation.... but I think this is move in the right, fair, prudent direction.
