Thats true,the frost had the deer up and moving early but when sun warmed up everything they stopped moving. Last year was a bust cause we didnt get any snow anywhere. I heard a few shots opening day and sunday but not like previous years. The state decided that my area (4-O) needed an antler restriction put in it, but didnt up the DMP's for area instead decided you need a P point to get a dmp for area. Seems the state thinks we need to all be Trouphy Hunter's instead of converationists while car/deer accidents have gone up 6 % in a 2 year period due to over popalation of deer in area. I spend 98.00 a year in hunting license fees and I cant even put meat in my freeezer without having to drive 30 miles to hunt another DMU to hunt deer cause the deer in my area are "illegal" being they dont fit in state's plans.
