I've been hunting a 160 acre property in Roxana for almost 10 years. Very close to Camp Hill. Our deer density is extremely low. We have 2 of us that hunt on average 2.5 days per week for the entire season in a variety of locations. Our sightings are VERY low. We killed 3 does and 2 bucks this season. Our largest sighting at the beginning of the season was 9 deer (3 does and 4 yearlings).
I went 19-20 times without seeing anything! And this is with planting some green fields, cutting lanes in bedding areas, etc...trying to increase our chances of seeing more.
To that end, I'm planning to leave that area and move to an area in Macon County simply to increase my chances of sightings, which will give me opportunities to decide whether I want to shoot or not to shoot.
