The point is there is no reason why I should have to move to a new area ,since we have some of the best deer habitat in the state. How many areas of the state do you know that have more deer than in 5C that are under hunted. The fact is the hunting is hard in my area because we have a lot of land that is open to hunting and is subject to a lot of hunting pressure. If I wanted to be a selfish ,self centered trophy hunter I would lease the neighbors farm, post it solid and have good hunting for my wife and me. But I am not that desperate to kill a trophy or any buck for that matter.
Nope, no reason to move. You just keep right on complaining while getting the same results. I beleive that someone once defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I also notice that you have no response for your part in the low deer numbers where you hunt. Did the PGC pull the trigger for you and your guys when you shot "the only deer you saw"????
As for open land, there aint too many bigger chunks of open land than the ANF which makes up darn near half of 2F. Things are just fine up there in the2F "no deer" land for those of us that still HUNT it. It's even good enough that an enetrprising local makes a living as an outfitter putting his clients on public land!

BTW is scouting still a waste of time or are we close enough to the season now? LOL
