I was surprised to read on the "trail-cam pictures" thread below that the fellow thought deer numbers were down in his area.
I have been doing a bit of scouting in a couple of new (for me) areas. Each time I have walked through looking for sign, I have seen a couple of white-tails. Which made me think,"hmmmm! good sign there are a fair number of deer in this new area"
Then the other day I looked out our living room window and there is a deer walking in the field south of home. I walk down the driveway to get the mail and there is a deer at the end of the driveway. In the evening I put the dog out and there is a deer in the field to the south east (about 50 yards away)
It appears to me we are up to our hips in white-tails around here. We had better get to eating up the ones I shot last year so I can shoot some more this fall.
