They opened one gate on the military base I hunt and a hotspot went dead in less than 4 weeks. I used to ride my bike in with my buddy for over 1 mile, then hike in a 1/2 mile to a remote bedding area...he actually saw bucks, 13 straight sits in the woods..it was unreal. This year, the sign is there, but both of us have really seen only 1 nice buck...not sure when those deer are moving b/c the huge rubs are there but they are nowhere to be seen.
