I must admit...I have seen a fair amount of deer. Nowhere near the last ten years, but enough to keep me excited. Seems that the recent cold snap has made them move more, so maybe there are more deer being seen around here just cause they are on the move.
Ive seenmany a nice buck, mostly at night, but almost all were in the 4O and 4P WMU areas. I am suprised, actually, that I have seen so many big bucks in this area. Hunting pressure this season seems low, but they are still moving nocturnal, which is the reason my freezer remains empty.
Blame what you will, DEC, Winters, Coyotes....the populations are obviously low, which is kinda concerning...But, I have still seen enough bigh bucks to keep me in the woods and hunting.
They are there, you just have to find them.
