Sproulman,yes there is private land near the area where they found 126 dpsm.However,it's open to hunting.The guy that owns the road that goes along side the state land did put a gate up a few years ago but you can walk in to hunt or fish Anderson creek.The fact that there's private land nearby means nothing.People are allowed to hunt that area and the flyover was done in March,long after the last hunter left the woods.the deer were concentrated there because it's one of the few areas that had a combination of food,cover and water.
Ok.After reading some more of the post...And know now for sure of the map... That is posted private land back there ..You are not allowed to just walk in and hunt it....You can only fish so far back it also...7 years ago they only stocked 400 fish in that creek...Thats because it got posted about 300yrds back past brown springs...They use to stock it with 1200 trout before new owners bought land back there from previous owners..It's been posted for about7 years now back up to the tracks and both sides back there where the deer population numbers are....
I don't knowthe last time you been back there DougE,But there is alot of posted private property back there now.. The reason was because it was posted...Not because of food or cover for these numbers...
