RE: hunters - how many deer did you take last year?
One Buck w/bow - One mature doe - shotgun.
Our hunting party shot the same number of does we always do (5 or 6) on 180 acres but only 2 bucks this year.
Still not bad - very close to average - usually we shoot 3 or 4 bucks - last year 5 bucks - 7 does.(last year was above average harvest). We still pass up ALOT of deer here.
We do think that the deer population was down from last year - which is a GOOD thing as far as I'm concerned 40+ deer/square mile is too much on the habitat.
