Funny, I gun hunt in Iron County, near Mercer. Our best year ever was 2000, We shot 9 deer among 6 hunters and 3 nice bucks. Since then we have averaged about 1 or 2 deer per season with minimal sightings. I am not knocking the DNR because they don't manage deer for the hunters to always be successful but I do believe that wolves have impacted the quantity and make hunting much more difficult.
