I agree to some extent but when I spend 18 days in my tree stand during bow season and only see deer on 5 of those days I beleive that they are letting the numbers get to low. The very same places produceds sightings on every hunt just a few short years ago. JMHO
I feel for Ya .. but deer patterns change over the yrs as well. I've sat days in my Hardy Co stand before w/o seeing as much as a doe. it bites, I know....
I gotta look up Elkview in my WVa atlas.....
