Hunting is not hunting any more with game cameras and baiting. It is just live grocery shoppng. If you are not killing a monster every year you suck or he aint there. Excuse me the correct verbiage is killing your pet. Well, I guess I don't know anything about deer hunting. And I guess, according to you, I Suck too. I'll just get back to eating my bowl of deer chilli.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Someone needs to write a computer program to keep up with GC numbers on a daily basis.......It would be interesting to be able to compare where we are on any given day to years past........This has been the slowest start to a season that I can remember in the last 10 years

The first week or two of bow season has been pretty consistent for the last few years……Everyone has some deer coming to a corn pile or feeder for several weeks leading into the season opener and then you get a flurry of arrows being slung at them for the first couple weeks no matter what……resulting in a flurry of tracking calls. This year its dramatically different and its not just me seeing it…..A lot of counties down here haven’t even reached 1% of last year’s buck harvest yet…..meaning that there isnt chit getting shot right now……Maybe it’s just the perfect storm of bad environmental conditions with the full moon we had to start off followed by warm weather…….

CNC, up here, the start of bow season has been unreal. Ppl are killing BIG bucks, lots of them, and seeing as many or more deer than ever. It’s weird how it can be so different in different regions. “Patterns” have a tendency to start showing themselves very quickly…….so just for chits and giggles I went ahead and put the numbers on a map…..Instead of just comparing the start of this season to last year’s total I used the average of the last four years’ totals……Yes its still really early but the pattern that is emerging is setting up just like I was suspecting it would in the original post of this thread. We shall see where it goes from here………

Chuckles better hurry up and get those tags issued before the buck hunting completely tanks……This sucks. Just out of curiosity and with nothing else to do I went ahead and made a map showing the doe harvest as well……Pretty interesting that a county like Blount has already killed 15% of their annual doe harvest. I guess zone c folks gotta get after ‘em while they can…..Of course keep in mind also that zone b in the far southern portion of the state just opened doe season 4 days ago

So you would think that whatever impact baiting was going to have would play out in the first 3-4 years of it being legalized and that would be that…..BUT…….thanks to the way we’ve educated the public on “buck to doe ratios and how to fix them”…..I don’t think that’ll be the case…..
I’ve said this before but I’ll throw it out there again…….I think you’re going to get an initial impact on the buck populations in the first several years but once hunters start seeing fewer bucks, more late born fawns, weaker ruts, less opportunities, etc…etc…..they are going to start hammering the does and in doing so create a second wave of impact/change…..I think that’s the phase we’ve probably entered…..South Alabama hunters shot the chit out of does last year compared to normal for some reason…..Either hunter attitude changed or there was a big influx of additional hunters......either way a bunch more does got shot.....which most likely is going to result in less bucks being produced.....
