I went down to Meigs to see how well my invasives are growing and I was kinda shocked how many deer I seen. Side of road, on road dead, and on the property. There was deer everywhere! What’s your region and observations so far?

I'm certainly seeing my share of deer and a few decent bucks too. 
I actually seen a few turkeys this morning, as I was out hunting g-hogs. Shot 3 of those varmints. There were others that I seen, but couldn't get a shot at, for now. The hit list is getting longer for these g-hogs.

This is what happens when the majority of people hunt for antlers and not meat.
Interesting numbers here. Ohio falls in the middle when breaking down harvest percentage.
That is my pointya can't eat the horns dave....
. Having targets is how people get hooked. So quantity is needed. Fine balance to keep everyone happy.
I agree completely. I think the ODNR should manage for maximum numbers while maintaining a healthy herd. If hunters want to implement TDM on their various properties then let them.That is my point
Ohio falling in the middle shocked me. I'm guessing the areas with Amish helped the success number greatly.
