I hunt 640 acres of state land that borders 2 privates leases havn't seen any does this year at all, since last winter deer sign has been minimal! since October I have seen one small spike with maybe w 2in antlers! That is it for the whole season! As stated winter kill, coyotes, wolves, youth hunts, tribal permits (5 per person) unlimited landowner tags for years, plus hunters shooting everything that walks its no wonder the numbers are down. Plus habitat management up here is non exsistant the woods are way over mature, not much food to sustain much anything! Lots of squirrels though I think that is what I am going to hunt from now on and forget about the deer!
