I'm curious about your resident friend's opinions.

Sorry I can't offer any help, myself. I've decided to hunt other states for a few years based on the issues you've mentioned, plus late winter storms for 3-4 years in a row, CWD and EHD outbreaks etc. The quantity and quality of the herds seems to have taken a serious turn the last few years.

You're in an enviable position. I wish you good luck in your decision and your hunt.
