kjclark7 , i also hunt zone 3 and i have only hit that zone twice this year but, in zone 4 some of the guys took some nice deer this year. that zone has lots of deer. last year in zone 3 they took some nice deer out plus this year i saw some nice pictures in franks takle and in monksville but i haven't seen anything in person. i love zone 3 but it doesn't have as many deer as 4 and it is more of a challenge ( which i love ) even though i didn't get anything this year. a friend of mine keeps me posted and he missed 1 maybe an eight with a real wide rack and said he new where 2 more were hanging around but didn't get either 1 of them .anyway, in three i agree with you but i have seen a lot of deer in 4 this year. Good luck hunting buddy.
