I sent a message to the group. Still have 2 guys yet to report back. So far we are at 89 deer seen while in the stands. Most hunts were in different stands in different areas. Some stands were hunted multiple times and could be the same deer. We are talking deer sightings. And several of us didn’t hunt the afternoons due to kitchen responsibilities, if you know what I mean. Just crazy numbers for us.
Since you can shoot 2 a day now, you have the tools to get rid of those excess deer...
But there’s no way I can convince my group to shoot them. The grand total was 123 deer sightings. Yes some of those I’m sure were the same deer seen multiple times at certain locations but it’s still way more then has ever been seen before. The conditions were right. First hunts of the season, perfect weather conditions and much more open areas due to some new clear cuts, and a ton of acorns. None of the 6 deer killed was around a corn pile. 1 was killed in a food plot. All the others were either in the acorns or traveling from acorns back to bedding areas. Our place will have a 10 day rest before we go back. Hopefully the 2 guys we are bringing with us will want to shoot a couple does because my buddy and I have all the venison we need. We are hunting antlers now.
