Did not get to hunt at all 2010 season due to another one year tour over seas. But I was able to hunt the whole season for 2011. I bow hunted Norwich and did see 12 deer total hitting up the apple trees. For rifle season I hunted the Catskills and saw an total of 7 deer which is a little on the down side for this area. I then went back to Norwich for the ML season which they did have some snow on the ground. Hunnted for miles and miles seems like I could not Buy a track.We then then drove the roads State and private again same thing it was like Mars lifeless!! We tryed to tally up what was killed in this area and some of the camps were complaining they could not even fill all there doe tags.Well next to my friends camp was one of them they shot 8 does the year before they shot 12 does 2 bucks the year before that was about 12 doe 3 bucks. So that being said its should be mahtmatical can you keep shooting this many does and expect to have good deer populations. Do the math on this one camp shot and times that buy how many fawns they should have had.If you keep taking fish out of the pond it has to run out sooner or later. I think there have been way to many doe tags handed out in cetain areas.Actually this land should have far more deer than the mountain region but at this time it seems like it has far less.

Funny we hunt by Hunter mountain ski resort all the guys in the valley for the most part know each other and we try and tally up the deer count 4 bucks total in a 7 mile valley not so good Bear count was 4,one group of guys shot 1 buck and 4 bears should be the other way like 4 bucks and 1 bear,We also only saw 2 yearlings spotting at night in the whole valley prior to lasts years hunting season,This year should be interesting

For some reason i would think there would be less deer this year the snow was so deep and i know for a fact the coyotes had a field day on them,we will see,
