I too heard less shooting than usual. But, I think this buck and doe in the same season was a huge mistake. A hunter shooting at a doe fired right in the line of fire of my friend's wife.
Plus, I think the shooting at doe really made the big bucks hunker down. I harvested a young spike at the end of the day. I was the only one in my gang to get a buck on opening day. Typically we have 3 or 4 hanging by noon.
I am not in favor of it.
