I harvested a doe last week and participated in the after the hunt survey that was sent in my confirmation email. In the survey there is a grid for the county in which your deer was harvested and you have to place a dot in roughly the locale of where the deer was harvested. This got me thinking...I wish they would require this when a deer is checked in, so all reported harvests would me mapped, instead of gathering this info from a survey that many do not participate in and only a partial harvest count is taken. Also, I wish this grid was live and we could keep tabs on the harvest in our immediate area. I think it would help make all of us better managers of the land and the herd. They could have different colored markers on the map for bucks, does and button bucks. I think it would just be nice to be able to somewhat be able to monitor the amount of harvest that has been done in your immediate area. Thoughts?

Shhhh. What's wrong with you. It's a secret where you kill your deer. Nobody can know....

I think that's a good idea as well.
I did participate in the Archery Index survey this year. Hopefully everyone remembered to mail theirs in.

After the experience we had last season and again this season, I honestly don't want any more accurate information on where deer are killed to be available to the general public.

I started to do the survey until they wanted me to mark on the map where I killed the deer. No thanks

I am unaware of what you are talking but I'm curious to know. The Huff Buck is my guess…. Personally I didn’t know that the public got to know exactly where and the details of your deer. If someone kills a WR deer that information is usually known sooner or later IMO Outfitters and leasing agents love the information!

I am unaware of what you are talking but I'm curious to know. The sheer amount of trespassing we dealt with after Dustin killed his deer. The landowner was bombarded with people trying to get on his place, we were constantly dealing with people trying to get on ours, cellular trail cams had to be bought to catch people coming in across a different neighbors place. Just ridiculous.

Luckily we have 3 sheriff's deputies and a CO that live within 5 miles of the place that travel the area multiple times a day. It's not completely shut down but it's been dramatically reduced.

All that would be shown on the map is a dot indicating buck or doe or button buck was shot in that general location. Outside of that there is no other information that should be able to be gathered from the site. I would really like to see what kind of harvest has happened near my hunting grounds. There has been quite a bit more shooting in my area than the past few years. It would be nice to know, in real time, how many deer have been removed from the local herd. I'm sure the Huff buck created quite a bit of interest into the localized area where that buck was taken. That is going to happen with any giant deer harvested. Nobody would've been able to figure out where that buck was harvested from this interactive, real time map. That buck just becomes another dot on the map.

I use to be very curious about what the neighbors have shot as well. That information would help me decide whether or not I wanted to shoot 1, 2 or 0 does. It also let me know when I can keep waiting on a certain buck to walk by. I decided to get to know my hunting neighbors. We all share our harvest information and trail cam pics. We help each other track and load deer and move or hang stands. Maybe my situation is unique but I'm very happy with our arrangements. Especially since we're all essentially on the same page as far as herd management goes.
