I saw twelve deer in the first four weeks of bow season, and only one buck a small spike,in years past I saw that many in a day! We have had CWD reported in our area and the DNR has been taking so called test subjects all year long,between that and the urban sprawl intruding on there habitat our numbers are way down! Our rifle season numbers were half what they were last year,sure hope next season is better,I will be looking for a lease on 50-100 acres somewhere out of the CWD containment area to bowhunt next year!
