i will have to say, that i saw alot more deer this year than in years past. i do think that i could of saw more deer but there was so many acorns this year. but thats alright because last year we had absolutely none. i hunt in zone 6 belchertown. i will say though that i didn't see as many scrapes though, but i definitely saw some bucks though. i did get this 10 pointer during bow season 205 pounds 6 years old no teeth at all 30 yard shot.
