Great to hear! I think finding that dead deer (Doe I assume) is a good sign for you. If she was a wounded deer, that is an area the deer like to go and hide. How far off the road were you? Far enough where the other hunters won't be all over you? If you jumped a single deer running alone right now, I think its pretty good odds that its a buck. Give it a few weeks here and you'll start to get an idea of his antlers. It won't be a great idea but at least an idea.

If you want to PM me the GPS coordinates (you can get them off google earth) I'll check it out for you. Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal your spot but I'll give you my opinion. I actually was looking at the map and found a spot that may be very overlooked but will hold some deer. Let me know!
