i see just opposite hunting here in 2g..i happen to be out hunting about 4 days a week..i seen about 15 deer on stateforestland in about 2 months..

most of deer i am seeing are very small doe..i did see some fawns but all were on PRIVATELAND..i have not seen fawn on STATEFORESTLAND,so far..

i agree with you on your comment of not seeing hunters in woods walking..most i see are road hunting and they are getting their deer and i would guess its from riding roads as i see them ALL day going back/forth..but it is taking them days, like 3 or 4 or more days to get a doe..

i have to wonder all gas they spend road hunting they could buy a steer..some hunt grouse this way and gas they spend is ten times what that meat would cost them at stores..i cant understand ,if meat is important to some, why spend all that money on gas to get it..they are losing and think they are winning at meat game..

anyhow,i dont hunt doe only bucks..i have only seen 1 legal buck so far all archery on STATEFORESTLAND..lately i feel better when i come out of woods without a buck..i am getting lazy as i get older and enjoy seeing deer more than killing one..i had my day killing bucks,now i feel better when i see another hunter get a buck..

sadly my friends from kentucky are not coming back this year to hunt do to lack of deer..they only hunt bucks also even if they could get a doe permit..they used to be 18 ,last year 9..we only got 1 buck for 10 of us hunting in 2G ..they hunted hard for 4 days ,i had 2 weeks..in those 4 days they saw a total of 5 doe..their stands cover about 2 miles.they sit in stands from 6 am to 6pm,those 4 days..

what is bothering me now is all these coyotes in woods..i saw 8 last year but could not hit them..i never in 50 years saw coyote huntingand now they areall over place barking..every time i find coyote poo i see deer hair in it..

sorry i got off topic..
