Is it because the seasons are too close together with the last week of archery followed by bear season without giving the deer time to relax with nobody stomping through the woods?
Very frustrating 2 weeks of rifle.
The only deer we saw were a few laying in very thick brush next to the road.
I was not able to get back this year but my brother and his boys got theirs the first day. Niece got hers during archery while she was off work due to coming down with covid.
