Yeah I had noticed that they had increased the number of tags for the area however the property that we hunt is a very large ranch and it seemed to me that the number of hunters is down a bit. Now it for sure is possible that there are fewer hunters just taking more deer although it had seemed to me that last year there were not to many people hunting whitetail, unless of course they just drove in whacked and loaded the deer and then left, in fact last year our group saw very few bucks being taken (and someone is usually there almost every day during the season). Was there any winterkill last year? or are people seeing them in places where they normally don't show up? Just trying to find out from what everyone else is seeing to see if the deer are simply not there, hidden really well, or just spread out throughout the area. As well mule numbers do appear to be ok although the buck quality is terrible, we've seen probably 40+ bucks thoughout opening weekend and bow season and the largest may be pushing 145.
