The place I hunt is private owned 34 acres surrounded by 500 acres of private farm land as this is my first year there and based on what I have heard from the folks who live there, it was the worst deer season since the 60's. I am sure that it would support much more than what I saw based on the layout with fresh water plenty of food and places to hide from preditors. Only time will tell, I am going out small game hunting and now that we are getting snow I will look for tracks, just to see what if any survived. It is to bad the DEC guys aren't watching these talks.
