RE: Is it less challenging if you have tons of deer?
Well, I guess all that I can say without starting a war between Places like Pennsylvania and Maine is come try hunting my neck of the woods and you will see that no matter how smart you think you are and how well you scouted the area, Maine is tough hunting period!!
Yes, I think that massive deer herds make for easier hunting, but no matter where you hunt, you got to put your time in!!!
