No I Doubt it, we have 200, 300 and 600 Acre Hunting Areas that are Posted up Tighter than My Wifes....well there Posted and Everyone Knows to Not even try and Tresspass, I wont get into that one
For Instance, We did'nt Hunt a 200 Acre Piece for most of the Hunting Season, We Hunted it Opening Day and My Wife took a Nice 9pt, then Hunted elsewhere for the next 20 Days. Then the Last Day of the Hunting Season Me and My Buddy who Owns the Land went there, I saw a Bunch of Deer and so did He, I took a 5pt with a few minutes left in our Regular Rifle Season, we Hunted there the next day and saw just a few Deer. I Hunted there Today, and there was still Snow on the Gorund. I Hunted from Sun Up untill Dark in one of the Best Deer Killing Spots on the Property. A Day befor I Killed My Buck the place was Filled with Deer and Fresh Deer Tracks. Today when I left and walked out (about a Mile) I did'nt cut one Fresh Deer Track in the Snow, the Deer were Gone. Two days befor that the place was Filled with Deer, just Me and My Buddy being there gave the Deer all they needed to know that this place was'nt Safe any longer and were'nt there. they knew....they knew.....
Another Example, Last Night Me and My buddy Spotted One of His Farms, we saw over 30 Does and 7 Different Bucks, and 2 BIG BUCKS. He Hunted there this Morning and NEVER SAW A DEER. We used to see a-lot of Deer there, and could take our Pick...they Know when Not to be there...
