Lets see, I will try to keep this brief so much has changed in 20+ years of hunting the same spot.

Land-The forested area was predominantly black cherry & other mixed hardwoods, and the rest was abandoned strip mines that were VERY rugged and thickly overgrown. Access to all the surrounding properties was excellent. Selective logging has produced far fewer cherry trees, but still good numbers of oaks, and huge thick bedding areas. Almost too many. The old strip mines were reclaimed, smoothed out and left as fields. Some remain mowed, others have grown up a little, but not much. Access to surrounding properties has been cut in half.

Deer-Populations were ok. Not scarce, but not that many. Late 80's early 90's they started booming and accelerated with the logging. Currently we have WAY too many. Everyone has fallen under the "no deer left" mantra that has hit other parts of the state, but not this one. Also with more limited access and people's resistance to shoot does the numbers have boomed.
Mature bucks have also gone up. Not exactly sure how much, because back in the day, a 100" buck was a monster so my idea is probably a little skewed. I wish more people (of the ones that hunt there) would shoot does. Its heavily pressured, but not heavily harvested.
