RE: "I used to see 30-40 deer"
doughboysigep,
The last 2 years I have had about 10 sightings during the year, no doubt some the same. I get out about 20-30 times a year. Deer are not around in my area. I've heard all the excuses of weather(heat, fog, cold, wind), food source changes, hunting pressure, deer going nocturnal, etc. The one thing I can't figure out is when these deer learned to cover their tracks, cause there's none of them!
