I'm not. Way South in Jackson county with very low deer density as well. I just finished up my journal notes for the year.
I hunted the whole season to my detriment on a piece of private land I have permission to hunt.
I either hunted from a tree stand, natural ground blind, or a very few times (less than half dozen) with my rifle in a shooting house or tri- pod a 144 hours this year.
Out of that 144 hours i seen 8 deer, thats right 8 deer! I had one shot opportunity with my bow and short drew and missed low. had one shot opportunity with my rifle and passed on it (a young spike).
I need to hunt up north more and on the public land within a few mile of home. I see more deer there.
