Rich,there's deer there because it's one of the few places with any browse and cover in that area.It's steep and brutal to hunt.In fact,you really can only hunt one bench and the top of the mountain.The sides are way too steep to hunt but the deer go over the edges to bed and you'll never get at them.The guy that lives at the bottom of the hillis constantly complaining about the doe slaughter.No way could hunters have even the slightest impact on the herd in that area and it goes like that for miles and miles.I have a buddy that has a camp right next to that guy and I don't remember the last time any of them killed a deer.
