I haven't heard a shot all year on Jacobs Mountain. I don't know how much the deer population up there has declined since it went public but it has to be pretty good. I've hunted private ground around that place for years and even on private ground I'm not seeing any deer.I've ran cameras since August and don't have 1/2 the deer in normally do on camera.

Seen 3 mature doe yesterday. No bucks with them. I know a small 8 point and a bigger racked deer were killed. The bigger one wasn't all that impressive either. Heard plenty of shots. Oh and the campground by the firing range is closing after this year.

I hunted Jacobs mnt. all day today and didn't hear the first shot nor saw the first deer. The deer population on that mountain has nose dived and the ones that are still alive sit as deep as they can in that cutover and don't move until night.

I know of one that was killed on the north end of the mountain and i heard a couple shots on the 65 side
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

I haven't found any big buck sign, can't find any does either and I've hunted all my best spots on private land and public around Jacobs.
