RE: pretty poor hunting
Very poor here in 6R. I have been spending alot of time in the woods with nothing to show for it (my wife keeps reminding me!). I hunted the last 6 days and have managed to see mostly doe. I did see two bucks together on Tuesday but did not havea clear shot. I have been seeing sign (tracks, droppings) but minimal "encounters". We still have DMP's but with the lack of deer, Im reluctant to even take adoe for fear of decreasing the heard on the 400+ acres that I hunt further.
My nephew and I were hunting yesterday afternoon and he saw a small 3 pt that he decided to pass on. I would have thought with two mild winters, we would have more deer. This weekend I didnt even see a deer!
Im sure the weather has something to do with it however, I feel they need to cut the DMP's way back for a couple of years and let the heard (at least in this area) become strong again.
We still have time to take a buck but it is gettting hard to stay focused when you hardly see a deer. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
