got a huge doe from bout 30 yds around 9:30. another guy beside us got one too. i heard probably heard bout 100 plus shots, though i doubt any of those got one. i think the main problem is that most people wont get off the main trails. u actually have to get off the rods to see deer. sorry to burst some of ur bubbles.

Gee, another GWH making assumptions! I guess the rest of us yokels just don't know how to hunt, hyuk! Hey Clem, which here end o' this barrel do ya put the bullet in?
Hey Buddy! Do you think it might be due to a lack of deer in our areas rather than a lack of skills????

Hunted Public Ground. Everyone in our group saw deer. Two very nice bucks came by my buddy and his 12 year old. They both missed. My 12 year old got his first, a doe. My 15 year old hit one in that no mans land in the shoulder and we gave it a bit of time only to blood trail to a gut pile. saw some sub-legal bucks.
We were 3 for 6 with does and all of us got a shot.
We did get 3/4 mile off the road. We didn't see another hunter except when we trailed the one back towards civilization.
Plenty of deer where we were!

we hunted in 2D near the Armstrong/Indiana border but it could have been anywhere we hunt including the ANF. We always take the time to get way back in on the first day and never have trouble finding deer. Don't mean to imply that its the case everywhere but we always do OK and generally hear the "no deer here" whine when we come out from the "thats too far to drag a deer" crowd.
The drags are getting tougher every year though
