To tell y'all the truth, the private but open land I hunt near home gets hammered by slug hunters every yearbut I seldom run into a hunter on public land up at camp. Always makes me wonder. More expansive land and fewer hunters makes hunting the big woods more of a challenge, and not because there are no deer there because there are. I think the old school stump sitters relied too much on the young and the restless to push deer to them. There are fewer hunters in the big woods to push the deer all over. Just a sign of the times and not related to deer density. Time to get up off the stump.
