Hunted there again (JEPC)this year from Nov 4th to the 11th. YES it was more crowded this year than it has been in the years past. I didnt see the quality of bucks that I normally see but I contributed that to pressure and the warm weather. It was actually getting to me to hike in 30 minutes from the truck and have some guy walk under your stand wandering around 20 minutes after first light.

I did see 3 shooter bucks with the largest in the 140 range. Only buck that came within range of me had a busted up rack.

I think the warm weather was to blame myself but did hear the same thing from the locals saying the quailty wasnt as good as it usually is.
