How many times have you hunted VW? It is rare when they get a winter that kills large amounts of deer. The WMA we hunt is so big it has a Forest Ranger living on the property. We asked him about that years back and he said that it is rare when the winters get that bad. I do remember one, but I believe it was back in the mid 90s. It is the doe hunting killing off the deer on that WMA. It is nice that your friend gets all the time in the world to hunt. Time in the woods makes all the difference. Unfortunately, the average working guy with kids can't take off a week or two to hunt anymore. I used to trap muskrats, sometimes for irrigation pond damage, and you CAN trap out a pond. The first sign is when you start getting nothing but big 'rats in your traps.
