Default RE: how has your area changed?

I have two (2) areas where I hunt pretty frequently, my friend's 200 acre property on the PA/WV border, and the small funnels and patches around my housing development. The 200 acre property is heavily posted/patrolled and enforced. We have seen a remarkable improvement in the quality of bucks in the previous 4 years since antler restrictions have made it 4 pts. on a side. OVerall numbers of deer are down slightly though. The area around my house has seen an increase in hunters, mostly trespassing hunters. I have permission to hunt the area owned by a local university, very limited access. I found more lock on stands and tree steps on this "limited access" property than on public land. Sign of the times.
