RE: Deer sightings this season
My sightings while actually huntingwere the same as last year which is to say fantastic. I had seven eights and two six's in bow range. I came to full draw on four of the eights and let them walk. I also saw a few that I would have taken but didn't have the shot.During hunting season I take the back roads home from work and usually see 40 - 60 deer coming outinto the fields.

Does were about the norm. I saw more (and passed on more) 1.5 and 2.5 year old bucks then I probably have in the previous 2 seasons combined. It became comical towards the end. I'm just hoping a lot of those 2.5 year olds survived.

RE: Deer sightings this season
deer sightings were equal, with mature buck sightings down
we had a REALLY hard winter last year and i found 2 bucks dead who had already shed their antlers that looked like they had some thick bases

RE: Deer sightings this season
My early season went very slow.... I haven't saw that few deer through first three weeks of October since I was cutting my bowhunting teeth...
Last week of October through November was not bad, big buck sightings were way down though but overall buck sightings were good. I saw 3 shooters, 2 in Ohio and the one from PA.
I do not personallyknow anyone locally who shot a P&Y this year.
It was a slow year for big bucks foreveryone I know aroundhere.
