this debate will go on and on and on..... I beleive if you don't pressure the deer and the winter conditions are being favorable like they are in many places this year, you will not harass the deer. I see both sides of the argument and I will not pressure deer but I will not be the last person out looking for antlers either. If I find an area with deer I will usually come back when the snow clears and if the snow is clear I will walk out and pick up the sheds. Around my area, the deer have already started to move back up into higher elevations.
