There are still plenty of deer out there for those who hunt. Some have chosen not to hunt the traditional deer woods any more. othere leave afetr a few hours. Our camp still kills deer in te ANF but the number of huntesr has been declining steadily for 15+ years.

I'll tell you who is "hunting" but not killing deer inthe ANFarea. The guys who show up on the Saturday before the opener and sit on the same stump they sat on 20 years ago till maybe lunchtime on Monday and then go home bitching and whining about nodeer. They simply can't accept that the old days of sitting in one spot while dozens of deer bounce around the woods from hunter to hunter like pinballs are gone. There just arent that many hunters out in the big woods. The deer are still there but you have to goout and hunt them on their terms. The Punkin army mob deer drive days are thing of the past.

YAAYYYY!!!
