7m did not even give out doe permits the last two years. I also get out 50 days a season and have a 40+ hour job and a family so we have a lot in common. I feel your pain I have not seen a deer in 7 days myself and 4 of those days were dawn to dark hunting! Again tho I do not believe it is an easy fix or the DEC fault. I agree with a lot of your post though.
