i saw MORE hunters here in clinton county than i did last year.

a TON of hunters hunted the sat/monday/tuesday of doe week.

last year, i hardly saw much of hunters the second week.

but, i saw LESS deer killed than last year and LESS sighting of deer.

i interviewd 9 crews that drove deer in my area for 8 days of hunting.

out of the 9 crews, they said they saw 2 doe.

we had 8 in our gang and hunted the first week hard,we got 1 buck and saw NO DOE.

i was sick a little so i only spent like 4 hrs day in my standbut rest of our crew sat in stands ALL DAY, MONDAY TO THURSDAY.

there was about 17 treestands in about a mile square area.

only 1 buck was seen and killed, it was buck i saw in archery.

i interviewd a gang of locals.

they drove for deer all weekl hard, they got 3 bucks and NO DOE.

they saw 4 doe total..

folks, this is with snow too

now, stores and restaurants like the doe thing the second week as they get another week of spending that they did not get before.
