i love it!! awesome work! and it all makes sense and the numbers seem good to me...


i have very few deer...and very few decent hunting spots so those figures make me the greatest hunter in the world....

i see roughly 20..yes TWENTY deer per bow season.

the past 3 years, 5-8 have been visibly antlered bucks each year..usually only 4-6 deer i believe to be does...usually a couple IDed as BBs...and a couple unidentified deer, which i almost always believe would be a buck if it showed its head...

all except 2 of the bucks that i can think of off the top of my head has been within 30yds.

im good for roughly 5-7 1.5yos 1-2 2.5yos and 0-1 3.5+yos

most of my deer are within range...which is good...i just suck with the numbers...the past 3 years have all been right around 20 deer per bow season....but, when i go spotting or beating brush or walking in snow, i feel good about my numbers...exspecially my buck numbers. work for this late winter/early spring is gaining access to better land and scout it out and ensure i can hunt there in the fall. thats my goal. even if its 1 GOOD property...id be happy. id like a couple GOOD properties secured being that i might beable to hunt EVERY day of the season and wanna go decently big or go home if thats the case...i just need the property with the deer to go big or go home....i wanna get beat by DEER..not get beat by lack of deer...not complaing...just reality...in the half a township i hunt, we know of maybe 4 bucks older than 2.5yo. between hunters, farmers, people driving, spotters etc, we have a REAL good idea of whats out there...we have a REAL lack of 2.5yo bucks this year...a real lack of LEGAL bucks...and number of 1.5yo bucks aint THAT great...theres a bunch of them runnin around and it seems more deer have bone than dont...but numbers are way down...
