Here at the house I plant a couple acres of green fields and have a couple feeders out year around. There have never been many deer here but the last several years the numbers have been increasing and have been seeing deer pretty regular. I don't ever hunt here but have built a cpl shooting houses in preparation of hunting with my two young grandchildren. To have a place we could go for short durations and have a chance for them to actually see a deer and maybe shoot one. When the season started I had 6 does 4 fawns, and 3 small bucks that was showing up on a regular basis. They have all slowly disappeared as the season has progressed. The only ones I have seen or got a pic of the last two weeks is 2 fawns. I have a neighbor that moved here couple years ago bought 17 acres and acts like he has 1,700. This season he was selling doe hunts for $125. I have no ideal what kind of person pays $125 to go hunt 17 acres and shoot a doe but they exsist. I don't have a problem with a guy killing deer on his own land, but why do they have to try and kill them all. On these small properties the ability to hunt over corn has just exasperated this problem. These properties are partly cut off by an interstate on one side so that don't help either. In my opinion people that hunt small parcels of land and try there best to kill every deer that is legally allowed are just greedy and inconsiderate of the people that live and hunt next to them, or just ignorant on the reproduction cycle of whitetail deer. I know a lot of people won't agree but I don't care. Just wanted to rant.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

It’s not just where you hunt trust me. I don't hunt here just have 40 acres at the house. If this was the only place I had to hunt I would just crappie fish all winter, or buy me a squirrel dog.

I feel you.... Just gotta live with it or join in. These small lots will kill deer every year imo. You’d think deer would wise up but they don’t. We give deer too much credit, if you put out corn eventually they’ll come to it.

.....or just ignorant on the reproduction cycle of whitetail deer. I think a lot of folks hear headlines or talking points about how deer are "overpopulated", with deer-vehicle collisions being used as the main evidence, and assume it's like that everywhere. I think a lot of people really don't understand that deer numbers can vary greatly from one area to the next, even on a very local scale when you consider a specific property's habitat. The short version....is that people are stupid. People are also, in many cases, selfish asswhipes. Bad things happen when they're both of those things at the same time.
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

We give deer too much credit, if you put out corn eventually they’ll come to it. Right up untill somebody kills them all. I couldn't figure out why they wasnt using my feeder anymore so i put about 1/2 a bucket of corn on the ground a little further in the woods 2 weeks ago and it is still there.

Asking for a friend?? Just wanted to see the advertisement. Selling hunts on 17 acres is amazing to me. I just dont know how people buy into that. Apparently there are people who dont care.

I know a couple places about 10acres I'd pay to hunt but there's a lot of woods around it...the guy kills studs every year

Picked up a huge 5pt in Suttle last night that had just been hit. Broke hit skull plate on one side there was no blood shot meat at all.
