A 35% winter kill on the whole population is an underestimate.
A 80% to 90% winter kill on our mature bucks is an underestimate.
No one I know, who knows what a (BIG) Buck is, has seen one summer of 08.
In any unit in this basin. I am hoping some show up late and a few will, damn few.
The only thing harder to find then a huge buck, is a local that applied for a license.
