They'll live. Last year I saw a lot of rifle hunters in an an area that I had bow hunted all season. It was in an extended archery area and I saw people rifle hunting there everyday. About two weeks after the rifle season closed I went back in there and saw one of the biggest bucks I've ever seen and my buddy killed a nice 4x3. They're pretty sneeky dem deers.

with 18,000 rifle tags there's about a hand full of young bucks that survive

The young ones are getting slaughtered up here. The first few days of the hunt I saw several small bucks and now I'm seeing a lot of small bucks hanging in peoples camps and have only seen one on the mountain in the past 3 days......

everyone here shots the little yearling bucks and claim they are bigger then when i see them they just baby's it's starting to tick me off because everyone says they want to shoot a big buck but they wont do there part in achieving that goal.
