Default RE: 100 deer to 9 deer in 4 days

Hey me and my dad gun hunt but we definitely don't chain saw, smoke, use pop ups,or stink up the woods. We scout it and hunt and are as cautious as any bow hunters thatI know. I've killed 3 deer the last three years. Each was one shot one kill. So we're not ALL that bad.

I guess I may be talking smack about slug hunters soon as Ive gota bow now but just didnt get it set up in time for the season.

But now onto the topic-- first day of shotgun season Friday I saw 40 deer. Had 20 yards or less shots at about 25 of them (5 bucks), had 8 within 5 yards of my stand (one real nice 8). Second day, saw 1 deer. The last 2 days since, Ive seen 1 small buck at about 7 am and then last night I one small buck at dark. They're pretty much gone, lol. They're bedded down so tight now it's unbelievable. Guess I shouldn't have passed on the big 8 I saw on opening morning.
