[QUOTE="CutEm, post: 238912, member: 6158"] I truly feel deer numbers are great in the badlands right now and with another mild winter will be very good. It will just take a couple more years to get the big bucks back. I think not shooting doe for a number of years was really hard on mature bucks. As anyone knows muledeer doe are very tolerant of human presence. When you don't harass them for 4-5 years they become even more tolerant and when the rut is going it makes mature bucks that more susceptible. Good for population bad for mature deer. I also think youth tags take there toll. It used to be about a kid going out and getting his first deer, didn't matter what it was just the experience. Now its the dads dream hunt using the kid as the trigger man. Also one has to consider with the increased mule deer buck harvest that the area of muledeer is expanding. I see muledeer basically 40 miles east of the river up through Minot and west to Montana. Not all of those bucks are coming from the badlands. [/QUOTE]
