Sure did and for several years I killed 6-7 deer per year in there.There were way too many deer and the deer completely destroyed the habitat which is why I formed a committee to try and reduce the deer population.We dmap'd the heck out of it and opened it up to the public so as many deer as possible would be killed.I resigned from the committee when I saw it turning into more of a private hunting club.They reduced the number of hunters and the number of dmap tags because other members of the committee weren't seeing enough deer anymore.I practice what I preach.Incidentally,the success rate on bucks in there was only about 4%.I moved out of there about 5 years ago and hunt public land and land owned by timber companies and dmap'd.The areas where I hunt have some of the lowest deer densities in the entire state and you never hear me complain.I just hunt and shoot deer.Actually,for the past three years,I've been taking my son out as a mentored youth and he's been killing most of them.
