I got thinking about why no deer around stanwood and big rapids. The dam amish!!!! We have had lots of deer until amish started moving in. They shoot all year round. One guy i know, went by amish on opening day (nov. 15), they have 20 some deer hanging. This was 3 years ago, now they can' t get nothing either (lmao) Is that Bull crap or WHAT!!![:@] We have numerous families of amish around here. So you can figure, it takes a big toll on the deer herd. I guess i need new spot, sucks, cause everything locally is pretty much bad hunting. If you go south or north east west, they have a lot more deer. Just our area, it almost seems. I can go 30 minutes to lakeview area, tons of deer!!!, but i don' t know anyone there to hunt. Deer hunting roles around, i let ya know if i get something. Good luck, mike
