I hunt in Bradford county on private land.My friend who owns the property stopped shooting does 3 years ago and were finally starting to see deer in greater numbers again.Not the numbers that we used to see in the 80s and 90s but enough to see the herd coming back.I find it funny that all the guys i hear complaining of not seeing deer around where i hunt are the same ones that were walking around with 3 doe tags in there pocket when the PGC was passing them out like candy in our area.As far as seeing nicer bucks since ARs.All were doing is shooting them as 2 and a half year old 8 points instead of year and a half year old 4 points.There are some that make it past 2 1/2 but they are far and few between.Just my 2 cents/
