There has been a lot less deer by me since they started handing out DMP's individually instead of to a "Party of 4" or so. I have always seen acorns not eaten, ground under apple trees covered with apples all hunting season. Have to mow foodplotscause deer aren't keeping them down, other fields need mowing or the trees (regeneration!) take over. If I see 10 deer a season it was a good year now. There is no reason not to see 2-3 deer a day hunting in NY, besides the slaughter of the deer herd
