[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2930973, member: 5412"] I agree with the Camera's being part of the reason. . I also think that the education that folks are getting from the ODW as well as information about QDM one gets from the internet and sites like OSA is the major contributing factor. Right about the time Oklahoma went from three to two bucks, the internet became popular. Social media was spawned. Back in my day, you shot the first buck you saw. People shot fork horns and had them mounted. Now the population is such that you can pick and choose in some cases. People get into deer hunting, go to social media, and learn more in one evening of reading than I ever knew in my life because of the collective knowledge they gained by reading from experienced hunters. They see the great bucks we are shooting and want to have one just like it on their wall. They don't want a fork horned buck. Now social media is the mentor of most. Grandpa's old theory's about why you don't shoot does has been debunked. Game Biologists have studied the results of intense management practices like are done on DMAP's. They understand how nutrition and minerals can be supplemented to produce bigger bucks. Landowners/hunters use that information to put in food plots that help bucks grow bigger antlers and live a healthy life. Proper nutrition ='s bigger racks and healthier deer that live longer. During the drought periods the landowners around our neck of the woods put out supplemental watering stations because there was no water to be found for many miles. It was for deer, not cows. Its education and research IMHO that has contributed to our bigger bucks. Hunters take that knowledge to the field with them. [/QUOTE]
