It's bad. I've had 3 cams out now for 5 weeks and the numbers are very low. Haven't seen a mature buck yet. I'm sure a few lucky ones made it but it's looking like the annual trip will be more of a camping/wolf killing trip than a deer killing trip. This is in central forest fringe region.
Going up to the bush to check the cams this weekend. But like always, the rut seems to bring out deer a person never knew were there.
Good luck all.
