I hunted Glacier Peak from 1977 to 1996. On average I could have shot a deer most of the years...say 15 of all the ones I went in. After a while I decided I didn't want to shoot a 17-20 inch 2 1/2 year old deer just to say I got one.

One of the guys with me shot a Pope & Young mule deer in 1994.

One of the deer I shot was older than 2 1/2 years. Rest were 2 1/2 years and younger.
