AJ52 I know one thing. If my hunting was as bad as some peoples hunting is on this thread. I would spend little less time on the computer and be knocking on more doors looking for new places to hunt.
Here is an example.
I didnt shoot a spring gobbler in 5 years in PA. Was it because there were no turkeys in PA? No it was because I was to lazy to do my homework. 2005 I did my homework and got permission for new land guess what? I shot 10 5/8 inch long beard opening morning. The same goes with deer hunting. If you are not seeing any deer change your approach next season. I will agree some places are hurting for deer but there are plenty of places to find plenty of deer. To find these places effort is required.
