Maybe when guys get tired of going out and not seeing deer then quit hunting, and license revenue falls dramatically, the DNR will consider this.

I hunt Montgomery county area also and numbers here seem way down from previous seasons.

You can say it was the weather, but I really believe with all the hunters in the woods it still should have pushed the deer around creating shot opportunities. I saw 10 deer Saturday morning. I used to see at least 30 on opening morning.

That was a good idea to post that here DNA. However, it might be skewed towards the older generation a little these days. Most of the younger generation has all the social medias (FB, Twitter, etc.) to play on, and I bet thats where they are at. These "old dilapidated" forums aren't "cool" enough now days.
I'm sure that many of the younger hunters really don't care to read what the grouchy, know it all, old guy crowd is arguing about this week.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I have been hunting with my dad my whole life, and I have only gotten very serious starting in 2012 (3 years). I go to IU currently and work part time, so my time to deer hunt is next to none (maybe will get 2 full weekends and one or two other hunts.) I'll get to hunt maybe 8-10 times a year.. But I love this forum because most of the information is pretty accurate and I enjoy reading what wiser people (compared to my generation lol) have to say!

I was a late bloomer to deer hunting. Was always a small game guy ( squirrel and bunnies)Started, with the small game with my grandpa at 12 yrs old.
I turned 40 this year. At the tender age of 33, I had a few buddies that deer hunted and kept hounding me to try it. I caved in and went.

It was a pretty productive spot and on my first sit, I had a deer coming my way. It never got closer than about 200 yds and my heart was pounding!! Been hooked ever since..

I've always liked nature but it's hard to see nature in it's true beauty when you are crashing through brush piles trying to kick rabbits up. There are days now when I don't even see a deer but to be in the stand in the morning when the woods wakes up, and the birds are singing and critters running around.. best therapy ever!!
