I being from the N E section of the state can say we have plenty of deer.Like reb said the ones not seeing any around here need to walk a little more. I could and did see deer everytime out this year. Can barely remember how many does and young bucks that I let walk. We are going to bitch and moan ourselves into a year that we dont want. BTW I did hunt down South this year and let all your deer walk It was just to hot to shoot a deer a drive all the way back home with it.( Sounded good at the time)
