RE: I haven't seen a deer!
CDover,
The old Overhills areas have a great quail population. Quail Unlimited did a lot of work on food fields, shelter, etc, so the population around main post and the western part of post should be great next year. A lot of folks do really well until the last half of the season. The critters around Bragg are pretty smart and start heading to deep cover once the pressure gets too great.
