[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 238853, member: 2259"] There are many factors why the quality of mule hunting has crashed in the Badlands units: -There is too much archery pressure. Before you bowhunters get mad I am a bowhunter for 30+ years in Western ND. Over four months of pressure and bowhunter s are allowed to hunt during gun season also. -too many archery tags being filled with rifle. -too many mature bucks being poached. -archery season should close during rifle season to allow gun hunters a quality hunt. Too many people in the Badlands at one time. -dont harvest mule deer does -predator management too many cats in certain areas. Coyotes are hard on old bucks and fawns too. -Overharvest of up and comer young 4x4s. Do your part and try to harvest a mature deer if not eat your tag or take a 3x3 or big forks. -Oilfield poaching. -It comes down to over harvest for example in most Badlands units 200 bucks are taken by archery, 50 by youth, 150-200 by rifle, and how many by poaching ???.
