I can't really say it was a bad year for our camp, Nine hunters got 3 eight points and 6 doe, but it was a weird year.
Our sightings were WAY down. Way down.
There were no hunters out in our area. Very little shooting. Nobody moving deer. Lots of corn still up on the farms.
The 3 eight points were the only bucks seen by us. Usually we'll see lots of illegal bucks and lots of antlerless. Not the case this year.
The deer are there. But with no hunters moving them and so much corn still up I think we just weren't in the right spots where we had access to be.
