Me and my dad was coming home from the next town over. Major highwar with farmed running the road side. I turned my head when going by a field edge by a wood lot. I saw 30 or 40 deer in a 50x50yard area. I have never seen that many deer my first thought was where my muzzleloader. Sadly it was a private field.

I have the same deal on the way home from work each day. We had 22 inches of snow Saturday and now you can see the deer very well. Today I pulled over and counted 57 deer in one field that was only three or four acres. These deer have been using this same field almost every day for the past few years. They are always there. The funny thing is that hunters hunt the field ajoining this one which is only divided by a strip of woods no more the 100 feet wide. No deer ever in that field!!! I dont even bother trying to get permission. Its a no brainer there.

My wife & I woke up to about 3" of fresh snow this morning & 17 Deer in our back yard cleaning out my 5 bird feeders. Does, Button Bucks & one 8 pointer. She went to take a pic but they moved into the woods next to our house.

cool to see a big group like that...i had 22 come up the other night during a snowstorm here in PA...while scouting for a late season archery spot...i think i found it

i have the same amount of land in buffalo as well...and yes the deer are plentiful..i know the deer out there , the big ones, stay in the tree lines and just about never come out.

Pics or you lie

I've been up a tree on several occasions (at least 3 times) and had 80 deer walk by at once. One time the week after they got done having a managed hunt in the park, I had over 100 deer walking by with about 3 dozen bucks. Nothing huge in the group but some decent ones. That's been years ago. Today, between the unlimited tags, all the manage hunts and the police sharp shooters at night, those days are a thing of the past. One thing I will say, it's much harder to shoot a deer with a bow when that many eyeballs are around.

on my first hunt I thought the cavalry came off the hillside, I never saw that many deer, even if it were just 30 animals. They were red deer and big. And it was hard to single one out. I could shoot does from 1 to 2 years but they bunched up together and I stood there at full draw what felt like for ever...

F.

I know what you mean. One of the spots I hunt late season is typically herd hunting. The deer herd up into groups of 30-200. With that many eyes, you are hoping the deer you want to shoot doesn't run off with the rest of them when you draw.
