Let me save someone the response that people have always hunted in their backyard……People have always turkey hunted public land too but when the youtube guys started their shows a lot more people began to turkey hunt public land……Seek One backyard deer hunting is really popular now….especially since everyone can freely sit over a corn pile without worrying about repercussions from it……Lots of young bucks are getting killed this way and that’s what results in the buck age structure decline……I actually think this may be getting hid in the numbers for some areas……The total buck harvest may not look that much different when in actuality WHICH bucks are being shot has changed significantly…..The harvest has probably moved back to more young bucks being killed and fewer old bucks being present in the herd in many areas
