[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 89987, member: 366"] In our home area we could drive around and see 100-300 deer a night back in the boom years. We shot a bundle every year, but it never put a dent in them. When the blizzards and ice storms came, they disappeared faster than a guy could imagine. When spring came I spoke to many a farmer that just picked up deer carcass after deer carcass with their rock pickers and flipped them in their rock piles. We went from way too many deer to almost no deer in the flip of a switch with hunting pressure being the same. Reported deer strikes per night went from 50+ a week in our county to less than 5 within about a year and a half. That my friend was not hunters or the G&F. That was the almighty mother. I drew a coveted muzzleloader buck tag right at the crash. 2 years before I could have hit my muzzy buck with a slow moving van. I had a hard time seeing more than 2 deer an evening looking in top notch areas after the crash. I know each area is different in the state, but I can tell you for a fact that it wasn't hunters or the G&F that decimated the population in our area.
