Here in western NYS we seem to enjoy a healthy deer herd. Only thing the seemed different was a higher buck to doe ratio than in past years. Also seemed that in prior years, the does were often in groups of 5 or 6. This year it was 2 or 3, without exception. I have 3 different woods that I hunt that are widely separated.
Have been traveling the last couple of weeks,but hoping to catch the last couple days of muzzleloader season next week. May actually have some snow on the ground, so will be interesting to see what's been going on.


Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
