Thats all we can go on my friend, personal experiences.
I can remember when the beer flowed like wine, rut lines on every ridge. massive rubs that you would give names to, three 170 Plus Mulies chasing a hot doe, double drop tine bucks at 20 yards with the bow,
The memories go on and on. Hope to see those days again so all the kids can experience them.
Long before the cameras and baits we had it all..

You should be carful of belittling the power of a good old raffle. The Clubs could shut the doors on attitudes like that.
It's those so called contributions that buy radio collars and save rivers and marshes.
While the big show is happening the needs are still being supported the small donations.
So party on Garth.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there is the age class of mulies that there was in previous years. Age class and deer numbers aren't the same thing. For that you need habitat and access restrictions like we had in the park just a few years ago.
There are still guys out there (there are a few on this site) who are pretty consistent at killing big bucks....but they go find the conditions that will grow big bucks.
Having said that, the kid and I also saw a 170" plus whitetail last year the evening before the season started and I killed 'my' biggest bodied and oldest muley a week later close to the same spot.
Like I said, I don't make judgements based on my personal experiences. A sample size of just 'one' is a bit too small to pass any judgment.

Pittman Robertson money was used to reintroduce wolves in lower 48 look it up. Counting on scientist to protect threatened species whatever eh!! http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/...yale-collapses
Are not Caribou a threatened species?? but science is gonna get there jollies and collect tax paying money to watch wolves decimate a threatened population. Read the posted article.
This is a real worry!Using sportsmen's money to take away opportunities. Just have to look south to see. Fooling yourself to think it won't happen. It aready has happened. What measures are available to avoid similar situation??
It is well to try and journey ones road and to fight with the air.Man must die! At worst he can die a little sooner." (H Ryder Haggard)
Some people tip their hand and admit they want to see 170 class mulies behind every tree, so they want to restrict other hunters to get what they want.
Others want to see healthy, productive deer herds that provide opportunity for all hunters with all motivations.
Quickest way to poor productivity and shrinking deer herds is to drive up a surplus of mature bucks. Herd shrinks, fawn recruitment tanks.
But I guess when that was discussed, the guys who want more regulations were plugging their ears. Thankfully, our biologists want to manage our deer to provide healthy, growing populations with excellent fawn recruitment and representation from all age classes in that population.
This province still needs to kill some wolves and bears off.
Good one Dude, I have been hunting for over 45 years, still count the rings on a buck.
