6,500 acres. truly only bout 6 to 8 deer hunters and only 1 or 2 that hunt a fair amount. I noticed a drastic change in the herd 3 seasons ago. It’s bad, real bad. Not near the deer and nowhere near the bucks. The older bucks we do have on camera have the poorest set of horns you can imagine in comparison to what it was just a short time ago.
Damn pigs took over the place 3 years ago you bout couldn’t buy a deer. Went from seeing 20+ deer per hunt (in the woods or plot) to seeing hopefully 2 per sit. Pathetic! We put a hurtin on the pigs for 2 straight seasons and it seems to have gotten a little better. Bucks are still pitiful. I was told by a couple local guys that the dog club beside us slaughtered every deer they seen for 2 straight seasons. I have no idea how accurate that is but something definitely happened.
