this season was alot better than last season, as far as seeing deer. I did get a buck last year, and failed to put one in the freezer this year. I thinkt he population is on the rise, and wouldn't give up jsut yet. its all in where you hunt. the problem is we have 2 zones, and a handfull of WMUs, but within one unit you can have areas with tons of deer, and areas with barely any deer, and these areas are under the same regulations. Im not saying there is a better way, but it does cause problems like this.
