Hey guys,

A couple days ago, I went out to one of my hunting areas looking for some turkeys to hunt this spring. This isn' t my honey hole, but, it is the land that is adjacent to it. Well, I found one gobbler up there, but, I went through the woods and into a back field in the middle of the woods that is planted in clover. There were well over 50 deer in this little field. It is probablly 80 yards by 100 yards. [] They spooked and ran out of the field, this line just kept going and going. After that, we jumped up another 10 deer in the brush beside the field. The two fields on the other side of the woods had about 20 deer in each one.

It AMAZED me, and disappointed me at the same time. I have NEVER seen so many deer in such a small area. The woods are TERRIBLE with browse lines. There was a trail going through the woods that looked like a bull-dozer went up through. The leaves were gone, absolutely no new growth on this trail, and, it was wore down a few inches into the ground.

This should make for a very interesting archery season. I always try to harvest deer from my honey hole, to try to keep the doe number in those woods down, but, I might have to try to kill some of the deer on the land that I saw all the deer on.

Its just weird, this year that we kill more doe and less bucks, mixed with a harsh winter, and I see the most deer I have ever seen. It can' t be good for the herd [:' (]
