Pinevally Unit

[quest]

It was a let down this year during the muzzleloader hunt. More hunters which I’m not against sometimes it helps move the deer around. The buck/doe count didn’t add up. I’d say over 90% were small buck. Did see two small 4x4 maybe 22 inches. I ended up taking a very small buck my wife wanted the meat. It’s really sad to see this unit going down hill. It has the gene’s pull but the unit isn’t managed that way. I covered a lot of county on foot and scouting but I didn’t see any mature bucks like 24/26. I hope the data that they get will help with better deer management.

You are complaining about over 90% of the bucks being small and how it is going downhill, yet you decide to kill a young one. You are contributing to the issue you brought up.
