I hunt an area in Northern Mn. with a low deer population. In 2014 approx. 450 hunters got 47 deer, this in an area of 560 sq. miles and a 16 day season. Several bad winters and resident wolf packs reduced the #'s. Before the bad winters I saw a lot more scrapes and other sign. Last year and this year very few scrapes or rubs. The bucks are still there, trail cams show, but in fewer numbers.
