I used to hunt on several hunt clubs in Slanesville, Owl Hollow Rd, and Sziartos Tree farm towards Ice mt.......deer population in that area is decreasing as well. Check out Eddies Markets for the # they chk as compared to yrs past. lower. Better bucks, but less of 'em....which is good!! human population explosion up there, too, with all the developements going in.... land is @ a premium price. hampshire has always had tons of does, and still do, but overall, they're in decline too. My step-son lives in Capon bridge....owns 20 Ac... and he don't see 100 doe.......in a month.
