RE: Deer sightings this season
Deer sightings were up from previous years, mainly because of more time in the woods

RE: Deer sightings this season
My favorite farm, where I killed my buck, my sightings increased ten fold....I think I can blame smarter hunting for that though.
Like Grizz said, other places are still hurting from last years EHD. |
RE: Deer sightings this season
The number of deer I saw this year was about the same. I did see more young bucks than normal this year so hopefully that means good things next year. We'll see.

RE: Deer sightings this season
I was expecting this to be a horrible year. All the rain we got here in Illinois meant that there was a lot of corn planted late. This was the first year I can remember hunting in Illinois and having standing corn up in November. However, I had one of the best seasons ever this year, both with the number of deer seen and the quality of deer taken. I think the key was I knew this spring I was going to have crops in the field, so I scouted planning on that. I did not rely on my normal "go to" spots because I knew the patterns were going to be way off this year.

RE: Deer sightings this season
I saw 3 bucks and around 15 doe last year only and I hunted hard.
I hunted about the same amount of hours this year and have seen 15 bucks and 18 does. Off season scouting paid off for me. |
RE: Deer sightings this season
My Doe sightings were down big time, bucks were up big time. I hunted a new area this year 75% of the time!

RE: Deer sightings this season
My sightings were way up, but I attribute that to smarter hunting and a little more knowledge of my spots.

RE: Deer sightings this season
My place near town were WAY up. Typically I would see two or three a season, I've now seen 5 diffrent bucks, the same group of four doe (I think) and a Doe and her BB and doe fawn
