What happens. Bucks with better genetics grow faster then poor genetics bucks. A young good genetic buck that has faster antler growth gets shot first because he hasn't matured enough to properly hide.
Over time poor genetic bucks are whats left. Most people aren't shooting a 140 inch 3yr old...
I've seen more then one area wiped out from guys shooting whatever they see.
This isn't something I've gotten from reading or watching the dip stick expert types that lie.
This comes from my very own actual experience at hunting areas for years and watching the decline as hunters move in that...
Kill the young ones. Old ones die of old age. What's left? Mule deer do not bounce back like whitetail.
Fewer breeding bucks equals fewer chances at genetic diversity.
Especially in heavy hunted areas sitting and glassing is very productive tactic. Sit for an hour or 2, glass hard. Eyes start dancing then get up and move. Sit down and repeat.
I do both. If I think elk are around I'll sit tight for a couole days. Pretty impressive what you see at 2 in the afternoon. Animals usually up by 1 ish milling around in timber. Lots and lots of times they come to timber edges looking around.
I too was running Yukon. Hate the new cuff system.
Went to forloh allclima. Pretty solid. Just got out of hills couple hours ago. We had over inch of rain last couple days. Allclima performed perfect. I was cutting wood and re building corral gates getting ready for hunters. My shoes were...
I've run the reckoning since it first came out. It is very scrappy and on a day to day basis gets annoying at times. However that bag has had the hell beat out it and is still going. It is starting to show its abuse. Still useable. The straps and buckles are double tough. Material is better...
I know it doesn't look like it should work. When I first touched it in store I thought no way. Frame is to small.
When the man in the store put 60 pounds in it, I was skeptical enough that I did not bother properly adjusting the pack. Beyond that I put all 60 pounds in bottom of bag instead...
Went to the store yesterday. Bought both packs. My out of box experience with those packs are far better then out of box exeriences with any other pack I ahve tried.
Do have a couple question marks about both systems. Those will be answered with time.
