Default RE: Slim Jinsky spin

Crazhorse,I understand the frustration of investing time and money into a camp and then having few deer.My question is,who shot all those deer?If someone truly feels their area is being shot out,why would they shoot a doe there?I imagine none of the guys complaining shot any doe the past several years.Furthermore,there's no place in this part of 2G where a guy has to travel many miles to find decent hunting.Stay out of the barren wasteland of habitat they call state forests and a guy should be able to find decent deer hunting.

I hunt in the WMU that has some of the lowest deer densities in the state and I'm not complaining.Why would I want to travel to 5C to hunt.Are you telling me the hunting is tougher in 5C,assuming you can find a place to hunt?Besides,I never mentioned 5c or 5D.My comments have been about 2G where so many people say there's no deer.All I ever said was I have no problems finding deer around here.Sorry if that goes against the grain of how you perceive the situation.

I never claimed to be an "alpha" hunter or a trophy hunter of any kind.I'm an average guy that spends alot of time looking for new places and periodically checking out old places.I don't do this for a living so if I can have consistant success in 2G,most should be able to.I appologize for not having anything to bitch about.Is deer hunting as easy as it once was?Nope,but anything worth having is worth working for.Besides,we neded less deer in this part of the state and anyone who denies that,has their head stuck in the sand.They also have their head in the sand if they think hunters are solely responsible for the decline of the deer herd.

Larry,I don't know what the sustainable buck harvest is in 2G.It's a big unit so I suppose if you add in all the places where deer have no business living,it could be that low.That's the whole problem.People need to recognize that not all of 2G has decent deer habitat.I hunt where there's food and cover and I guarantee there's alot more than 2 bucks/mile.
