I have noticed big changes in hunter participation. It seems that opening day is the whole season for many hunters. Even opening day seems to be a 1/2 day event. If this trend continues, we may see gun season resembling bow season conditions as far as un-spooked deer. Right now we have enough people to send the deer into a survival mode, but not enough people to keep them on their feet. The other change in hunter activity is the popularity of tree stands and the high-tech winter clothing. Guys hunker down in their stands and never move. Meanwhile the deer hunker down in their safe spots and they don't move either. Nobody is walking and forcing deer to move. That will make good hunting days sound real quiet too.

Not even close to being a 200 lber. She is probably 145 lbs which is bigger than normal . Big does always look bigger than they really weigh. One year in Northern Maine one of the guys shot a 177 lb 8 pt buck and another guy at my camp shot a 168lb Doe which is HUGE ! These were weighed on certified scales at the tagging station. That huge Doe looked WAY BIgger than the buck hanging on the game pole. She looked like a horse hanging there . I can honestly tell you the 168 lber field dressed looked much bigger than the Doe in your pic

Happy Birthday!

Have a great Birthday!

I do not use trail cameras, I like being surprised, I grew up in a different era, old timers, books and magazines is where I learned about hunting techniques. There were no food plots, tree or ladder stands or enclosed purpose built blinds with heat and all the comforts of home. Most folks did not even have scopes on their guns. A sprinkling of stand hunting, drives, still hunting and tracking were the methods most used back then. It was all about learning woodscraft, reading sign and animal behavior. It is those skills that define hunting for me and I still use those methods today. Al
