Our family camp got started around 1986 in Northern Iron County,Mi.

Watching the rise and fall of the deer herd in that area from the ages of 12 -40 has been an eye opener.

Sadly bumbling around the woods as a teenager I saw more deer than I do nowadays.

Nowadays I pay way more attention to wind,weather,terrain features, moon phases, hunter pressure, etc.

I would agree that the Department of No Results (DNR) has done almost nothing to help the deer herd.

Where I hunt in Ohio rublines can be productive and I used to see bucks both scouting and hunting rublines in the U.P.

Guess I'm just venting the frustration of a favorite tactic that really seems to be losing its effectiveness in my home turf.
