what do you mean - there have been a few posts here that have said they have been seeing deer and having good luck, including myself (Rockerfeller, Owasco, Moravia, ...)
I suppose. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe that's true. Maybe I better start knocking on doors in Owasco and Moravia then. I agree you can't micromanage an entire zone. All I know is something is definitely not the same in my area and the area surrounding it that I've been hunting for 15 years. No habbitat change. No developments to speak of. No roads built. Heck I think the same farmers have planted the same crops since I've been there.
Who knows. I guess I'll just keep on plugging away and do what I can do. No sense of losing too much sleep over it I can't really control the situation. Tis what it tis.
