[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 295334, member: 1485"] I think most buck hunters are a lot picker now then they were 10 years ago. It's more difficult to get a tag, so when they do, they're holding out. Sometimes it pays off, other times it doesn't. I was fortunate in the past two years I shot what I felt were respectable bucks on opening day on public land. For instance, when I first started hunting ND back in the early 2000s, our group of 5-6 guys would have plenty of buck tags and multiple doe tags. We weren't too picky as we primarily only hunted opening weekend. Many bucks that weren't "trophies" got a free ride in a pickup bed. Now, my entire hunting group only hunts MN where they purchased land. So I'm alone. I'm not as picky as some guys, but I have standards I try to follow since I know buck tags aren't an every-year or even every-other-year occurrence for most guys. I do still feel more and more people, in general, are supplementing with archery hunting. I'd like to see those success rates. No doubt they're less than rifle, but compared to other states in particular, I'd wager ND archery success is higher on average (at least for WT ... mulies not so much). [/QUOTE]
