Since I'll be hunting whitetails out of state this fall, I spent a few days last week scouting a couple farms that my friend owns there. That state has arguably the most favorable season structure in the whole country for managing their deer herd for mature age structure. One of a few states with zero firearm pressure in peak rut. With harvest results for ALL weapons & seasons that speaks for itself. And yet their DNR sold over 350,000 deer permits last year. Perhaps this is because an exciting product yields exciting demand?
