Looks like theres less and less deer are getting killed every year! I think back in 2001 the deer tool was doubled from what it is now!

Ehd and several years of unlimitted doe tags really dropped our harvest down this year.

Unlimited doe tags ! That would put the population down fast!! Last year I had some of the best hunting ground around !! Deer were everywhere!! And this summer the farmer decided to kill off some deer that were eating some corn !! And he ended up shooting 32 does with kill permits!! That hurt the local population!!
