I had one neighbor complain that he doesn't see any big bucks anymore. He is the same neighbor that said he hit 7 bucks last year with his bow and never recovered any. Another neighbor with younger kids said they lost 5 bucks with a bow. I did find 5 smaller dead bucks on my ground this Spring, perhaps some of the same.
Also had a neighboring farm sell to several Amish families. 43 names on the deed. If they all take two deer apiece I may not see many hereafter. Also many 5 acre mini-ranchettes around my area now that have hunting stands. I have seen somewhat less deer of late and the sheds I find are generally smaller. We shall see.
