There is a major issue around our place as well. We have around 1000 acres and only 3 hunters. While it is split into 3 main tracts, that is a lot of land with very little pressure at all. We have only shot 2 does in the last 3 years, but it sounds like ww3 around us. Last season a new neighbor of ours shot 12 deer on his 30 acres. When you combine that with the normal harvest that has been happening anyway, you get what we have now. It's truly sad to see a once great place to hunt and see tons of deer get turned into what it is now. We actually stopped all hunting on that 200 acres this year just hoping that some survive the season. I contacted the DNR and they are supposedly going to come out and do a spotlight survey to go along with our cameras but I have to say I am skeptical as to what it will accomplish.They told me that there were no plans at all to change things. So until more hunters realize deer don't magically spawn from the creek bed, we are just out of luck.
