only reason its too easy is because of the population density, if we can ever get the heard back to the carrying capacity of the land you will be lucky to see a buck during season, but when you do he will be worth it. If you choose it can be diffacult to aquire your deer, in 1996, I shot a 4.5 yo 9 point on the va side of great north mountain in shenadoah county, I shot the buck on a day when the weather wasn't fit to let a digging iron set outside, 16 degrees, wind howling 20 mph, snowing. shot the buck at 9:20 AM, state law at the time required the deer to be taken to a game checking station before skinning, I was 1.6 miles from my truck, at 4:30 PM I loaded the deer, and by 5:00 was finaly limbered up eough I could depress the clutch pedal on my truck, never had an easy moment that day. This is rugged NF land with very low deer density, no atv's allowed so if you don't have a packhorse you drag them or carry them, I've done both, when I was younger.
we never had a doe season here for 17 years, when they started them back up in 1974, the landowners at the time (farmers who were up in years) wouldn't shoot them and wouldn't let others either, so we ended up with about 80 per square mile in the early 90's our area has the carrying capacity of 18-21 psm we have them down to around 30 psm in this area, still plenty of deer.
bear populations are up 25X from what they were in 1978 when I started hunting them, they are now starting to increase the limits and seasons to thin them down.
