It was really warm where we hunt also. First two days 70+. I know that had to play a role. We saw plenty of deer, although less than last year for sure. I do think the winter took a toll on the weak. Lots of snow last year, something that doesn't happen that often. I also think there are less hunters everywhere.

Rem1100....not sure what you mean by loss in extra stamp monies. You can't buy an extra stamp after the season opens anyhow. Not following you there.
