All of the true big woods in the NC region are going down the tubes , 2 to 3 yrs ago it was perfect there , you would see about 10-15 deer a day , and atleast a decent buck , atleast in mckean county where i hunted.

Before that you would see 40-50 deer , maybe a spike or 3 point with a pencil thin rack , and they would be about 120 pounds , and infested with ticks.... and now there is about 3 deer per sq. mile that are really fat, just have fun tryin to find them!

Also did anyone notice a reduction in turkey population in the north? usually ill see a few birds up there , but so far not even any track , maybe its due to the rising coyote population?
