seeing the same thing in my 2 hunting areas. one in the northern zone and one in the southern. they're 300 miles apart. I've put a lot of time in the woods this year and am def. seeing a decrease in deer population. As is everyone else I know. I think the past 2 winters combined by an increase in coyote population is really hurting the deer. If you don't trap or call coyotes YOU SHOULD START!!!!!!!!!
