counted 105 deer in cornfields Sun Feb 20

[132 eight pointer]

I took a ride to Letchworth Park Sun afternoon.On the way out,near the Mt. Morris dam,we counted a total of 105 deer in aprox a 2 mile stretch of half a dozen former corn fields.I guess that proves that the population is pretty high.I didn't notice any racks on any deer.May all be on the ground by now.It was very enjoyable.I tried to get some pictures but my camera doesn't zoom in enough.

There is always a massive amount of deer in the dam area as that is safety zone from the hogsback all the way to the mt morris entrance.You most likely drove by our cornfield on your way down through.We have fields on the highbanks road and one of them butts up against the park.Take one step forward your in our field and take 2 steps backwards and your on the park in the saftey zone.They learn fast when hunting season opens and zoom down they go to the bottom and on the saftey zone.This time of year they  winter in the pines to stay out of the weather and they love to hit the corn we leave up for them and they paw the alfalfa pretty hard also.

Hi Four Season.I knew I was next to the safety zone.I see deer in the s.z. by the dam every year during hunting season.It is a sight to see a large herd of deer in my opinion.I have been taking rides,a couple times every winter, by your area for about 20 years now.

Saw a bunch of deer driving down Rt 65 yesterday and counted over 40 in a field on Rt 41 . Saw a bunch more on Bloomfield rd and Cheese Factory Rd . They know it's safe now !

I hear ya and for the most part they stay around thru bow season and the rut but when the bangin starts they will run your a$$ over on their way to the park.Believe it or not i have seen a group of deer heading right at me on their way to the park.They had to cross a road before they got to the park side and there was a car coming.The driver didnt see them till the last second and hit the brakes,All the deer made it but one fawn and that little joker jumped over the hood of that car and zipped its way to safety.We used to ride alot down there also and we used to see hundreds of them in the fields at the castile entrance also.Its amazing how many deer hang out on both ends of that park but i have seen groups of 20 plus on the bottom where we hunt so they are not just on each end of the park.I started hunting down there way back when they were called party permits and you had to have 3 hunters to get one permit.Back then when we were younger it was nothing to see 100 deer a night in the hunting area of the park and we had guys go in with 6 plus boxes of shells on the first morning and come out with no shells and no deer.That was the good old days but now days for me its a mature buck or a doe for me down there.We used to take does off the bottom every year and we would let deer run by us on the way out and not shoot because we could'nt drag any more. Oh how it was nice to be young back then.lol

I had 12 deer walk out of the woods, single file, 50 yards away from me the other evening when I was out coyote hunting. They crossed the field, went down into a draw and headed for the cut alfalfa field a couple of fields over. Pretty cool to watch them.

I bought a new Canon SX130 IS camera today and tried it out . It has a 12X zoom on it .

Eddie, nice picks. Now getting permission to hunt these honey holes, should be fun.

The guy that owns the property farms it himself . He told my son that he has plenty of hunters on the property . He doesn't own the woods though .

  Small world,while you were posting this last night I was ordering a digital camera with a 30x zoom.I can't wait to try it out.

[fasteddie]

My JVC video camera has a 32X zoom but when you reach out with it , it starts to blur up .

The camera I just bought has some sort of picture stabilization but you still have to hold it steady with the 12X . I was going to buy the 14X canon but it had some not so good reviews ....

The higher zoom cameras start to require a tripod at high power zoom I am told.Hopefully the focus is not an issue,the one I bought was a great price.I looked at dslr cameras but too expensive with a high zoom for me.

If you turned your hearing aid up a notch you would hear they were probably calling you tight-wad.
