Okay, for the past three days I've seen a total of six deer.
Day;
- 2 - Bucks; one shooter @125 yards away opening day @dusk
- 1 - Unidentified @6:15 am @30 yards away on day II
- 1 - Buck & 2 - Does @8:00 approximately this morning.
I'd estimate the I've seen a total of 48 hunters over the last two in a half days thus far.
Day II of the Gun Season and they already started doing deer drives on the entire property, and I'll bet by E.O.D. today, there shouldn't be a deer left on the property.
The good news is, being a local, I know exactly where they go to remain safe from the relentless 'Orange Army'.
Trust me in my assessment when I say, I have a highly educated deer herd around here.
Obviously, the hunting pressure went into maximum overdrive since Monday for the poor deer around here.
Now I'll have to get very creative and breakout my climber to go looking for them in the deepest parts of the woods in about a week or so.
I had to do this two season ago to get after my buck back then.
Oh-well,,,,
it is what it is...
BTW, there are two antlerless deer in the photograph above within 50 yards of me running away from the 'Orange Army Drive'.
The funny part is, the deer ran right by their parked trucks by within yards
I've been getting a kick out of all this, watching what's going on.
Out of all of those out of state hunters, only one seen me over the past few days, and that was this morning when he practically walked into my tree
I'll add,,, the number of shots or deer harvested are way down relatively speaking 'TOO'!
