i see.
i know this, this is worst year i have ever saw in clinton/no/potter countys.

they did stop doe hunting first week of deer this year, they is a PLUS but the hunters went out in great numbers in the muzzleloader/rifle october hunt this year.

i never saw so many hunters road hunting as i did that week of oct.

i hunt along roads with my dog for grouse, so i see what is going on and people stop and talk.

2 trucks said they went over 115 miles on roads and never saw a deer in clinton county that week.

others said they saw like 5 doe but all were near homes or on private land.

some road all week and never got a deer.

this year all deer that were left were near ROADS.

this is because WATER was near roads,our drought was awful this year.

also dcnr cut the trees back along roads, so more feed there.

you have to cover territory if you want a DOE.

walking in woods is waste of time from what i am seeing and most of the die hard meat doe hunters know this too.

they are not lazy ,they know how to get MEAT.
