I have a question, Where do you find the #'s of deer killed throughout the late summer in the red & green tagged areas of Clinton/Centre co's? I see a pissload of statistics for the # of deer being taken during all the regular gun,bow,,ml seasons but i see crap for the # of deer being killed for crop damage. Whhere does all this fit into the QDM #'s,,,hidden or shoved under the rest of the paperwork??? I know the area that i hunt & i know it well,,,in 25 yrs of hunting this area Clinton/centre co's,,,i have never seen such a dramatic change in deer populations as i have seen in the past 3 yrs. The deer are not there like they were before like it or not! I have been told that maybe i need to change my hunting practices & even move to a different area on here before?BS!!!!!!! Unless i was thrown a powerful learning curve somewhere in the past, im sure that what im seein is the real thing. Ive seen a huge increase in coyotes,,,bobcats,,etc.. The hunt club next to me that lives on the landinforms me of the Amish killin hundreds of deer in a late summer season,,,where do these #'s tally in??? The deer are not there!! bucks,,,doe,,BB's,,,there not there,,,it's that simple! So,,,enlighten me,,,where does all this fit into QDM?
Thanx Mike
