RE: Rifle season 2008 is history
It amazes me that the areas with the least deer still seem to attract the biggest numbers of hunters. 2G always sells out of doe tags first. 2F is usually right behind 2G. My best guess is that many hunters simply won't let go of old habits and those WMU's are traditionally still the only "deer country" to many. The pressure is way off in 2F and what pressure there is doesn't last long but the doe tags still sell off like hotcakes every year.
In the meantime, tagsremain available for the bonus roundsin areas that have plenty of access and plenty of deer.
Stories from guys like Doug andmy own group's experiencesshow that even within these more heavily hunted WMU's, there are still places to find abundant deer numbers.
Once again, the deer are still there for those who can adapt
