Not much changed at all. I think the point I was trying to make is all of the complaining that you see across various forums and even worse, the FB hunting pages. Folks that are constantly on IFG's butt about poor deer numbers (I complain about some of their decisions as well), that don't understand all of the factors that influence mule deer herd health. Eric is right, we can build deer, but we need favorable weather conditions.
It would be nice if the average hunter could listen to the podcasts that you have put together, it may open their eyes to the fact that just limiting hunter harvest isn't going to grow every herd back to the historical highs.
