Here is the question of the day... Is it harder to hunt hill bucks that are rarely exposed to human contact, in a big area, with high number of other deer. Or, a refuge where there is a high number of deer, but there is a lot of hunting pressure. Now I'm talking P&Y bucks, not any deer that comes by.....

I would say a refuge, only because there aren't many Pope & Youngs hanging out on a public refuge.

He is probably talking about the Loess Hills(around Council Bluffs) if it is in blind sows district.

You guys got it, Loess Hills area. It is a public refuge, for archery only. But is surrounded by public area. My friend says that the deer on a refuge are stupid because they are not in human contact 365 days a year. But with big bucks, it doesn't really matter. They didn't get big being stupid. My arguement was that with a pope & young buck, it doesn't matter if he lives in your yard, if he feels threatened HE'S GONE!
