With the greying of the population, and the growing number of "couch potatoes", there are fewer hunters pursuing deer each year.
So yes , the herds and the size of deer is increasing; it seems that more and more deer are being hit on the roadways than hunters are harvesting.
In the current 56 degree weather there is no snow for tracking,..yet ! The front is still about 2 hours away.
Generally, the first snow is slopp,slush, and very wet, and causes idiot drivers to spin out and is the cause of multiple automobile accidents.
However, the cold snap should last 2-3 days with enough snow to allow tracking into the end of the week.
My son is out now, so I expect a call soon for the dehydrator for making jerkey.
Last year, no call. It figures since we had just gotten the 'Excaliber' .. Lol !

See post #45, errantly sent to Eric
Just got word to break out the 'Excaliber' as my son's girlfriend just bagged a large doe, then she had to go to work.
He is remaining out in the woods, trying to maintain his male dignity in the rain an driving wind; while they are not competitive with each other ,..still ..
