[QUOTE="Tim Sandstrom, post: 238889, member: 1108"] Agree to some of this (good portion). But I hunt areas where I think I can say like 5 new wells have been drilled in 10 years and about that many have been reclaimed. Plus the Bakken traffic doesn't make its way anywhere that I'd say roadkill would have an effect. And why such a hard change in the last two years? Things were rebounding since the winters were tough on them. Things were rebounding nicely after the SD cat issue started to alleviate itself (due to harvesting of cats and also winter killing their food supply so they moved on or kept moving on). Cats I think are still evident and their 1 deer per 10 days doesn't help. But the doe to twin fawn ration was actually pretty good in my eyes. Overall, I still don't feel we are near what I remember as a kid and adolescent growing up but things are getting better. Social media? Ha, hell I almost feel like I get way less photos then the good old days of just website posting vs Facebook or snapchat. I guess people are only friendly to their friends on the Book or Snap an I'm too much of a pride guy I don't send friend requests to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Ha! Anyway, don't know if social media has been hurting things as much as one thinks. Fishing maybe. Hunting, not sure. Suppose it has some effect. Rut and rifle! Yes, yes, yes, yes. Again, one of those things I don't want to lose but man, if I'm going to get a tag once every 6-9 years I sure wouldn't mind not getting the rut to hunt and know my chances at more mature deer goes up based off the effort I put into the hunt.
