Well lets face reality everywhere! here in Nh the same exact is happening! they are building everywhere. although i think i have seen more deer checked in this year than i can remember i think the reason for that is because the deer are restricted to smaller pieces of land making them easier to stumble accross! some or close to all of my favorite hunting spots are now houses it is really depressing! I used to love pheasant hunting, all of nh pheasant are stocked which makes them weird to hunt and two ofthe beautifull stocking sites that were local are gone. one is a golf course now and the other is a farm that is now closed and will soon be houses! I have been in nh for 15 years and have seen 2 wild rabbits the grouse are getting almost non existant the turkeys have made a huge comeback but they dont like people hunting them in peoples front yards! heeehee Some people blame the small game #'s on coyotes, which is true but they are kinda hard to hunt if they are hanging out in neihborhoods where we cant get them!!! houses are going everywhere and it is not good. NH used to be such a beautiful place with some great hunting but it is starting to look like the suburbs of boston.
