No buddy - Here close to home I have 4 stand sets. But I also do a lot of still hunting. Then I also have a cabin in north central PA.
Problem is even the amount of deer I've seen on my trail cams through out the spring and summer.
Then too we have a lot of coyotes in the area and are seeing more bear too. And as far as other hunting pressure - it is non-existent.
I honestly believe that the PGC screwed things up big time when they reduced the deer herd by allocating more anterless licenses. I don't believe they took into account predation on fawns in the spring. They got the deer herd down but now the increase in yotes and bear are taking its toll on the fawns.
