Germain,there's not pockets of deer around here.There's pockets of better habitat and that's where you find the deer.With the exception of the tornado area,that area has some of the worst habitat around.Even the Punxsy hunt ground is terrible.I don't understand how you can even argue with that.I'm not sure what you mean by the old washed out bridge.I agree that there were more deer in Parker dam before HR started.There were alot more but then we had the winters of 2003 and 2004.Last year I saw more deer in there than I did the year before.In fact I didn't see a single deer in there during the 2004 bear season.Hunters didn't do that.There's no way they could kill that many deer.It's way too thick.Besides,I could count the number of people on one hand that i've seen in there during bear and deer season.They all hunt the open woods where the deer aren't.

I've never said there aren't areas with very few deer.There are relatively large areas with few deer but the habitat stinks.It amazes me that people actually hunt in these areas and then complain about seeing no deer.Why would someone hunt where they scouted and saw no sign?
