Early migration, and later dates of the season. It spelled awesome success for those hunting. It spelled "disaster" for the big bucks. There are a couple left, but the numbers are low. If there wasn't a three point or better rule, we'd be in big trouble. Lots of forties getting lucky.
A bunch of bucks I film every year didn't show up this year, including my avatar. I've heard of a couple monster non typical being nailed, I'm wondering if he was one of them.
