I saw plenty of deer this year. there are not as many deer as previous years, but in the 90's the deer herd was outrageous. My dad has 30 acres, on Sat. alone I saw 22 deer. 14 in one group that went across the back field and two groups of 4 in a different area. For the forage available that is way too many deer in that area. The nieghbors land is worse. When the deer are overbrowsing on redbrush there is a problem. I would say yes to eliminating bonus tags in some areas, but others need more deer taken. I hear some of the nieghbors talk of there being no deer around. Thier problem is they hunt a redbrush swamp and sit in a treestand all day. Not once do half of them ever move from that spot. Everyone was spoiled in the late 80's and 90's. Go ask an oldtimer about the deer herd in the 50's. Mt dad showed me a newspaper article out of the Mercer paper. It was an article about someone actually seeing a buck. He can remember when there werent many deer in Crawford and Mercer counties. They were all in teh big woods. The herd got too large and overbrowsed that area and moved to the farmlands around Crawford and Mercer counties. The forage is starting to come back up there and from the people I talk to they are seeing more deer this year. Personally I am happy with what they have done and hope it continues.
