I dare anyone to tell me that deer hunting public land is better now than 10 years ago.
Ok Ill bite, in the area I hunt in potter co. there arnt as many deer as when I first started hunting, however we take the roughly the same number of bucks, now however instead of the srub 3pts or spikes, were taking some really nice bucks.
The 3 three bucks we took this year were all 2.5 year old deer and had nice racks, heck the one 8pt was the biggest deer ever killed in our camp ever, and thats since 1970.
