Well, there was all the hub-bub over the season changes and the added dates and weapons,and how many deer should one kill. Personally I wouldent kill more than 2-3 in any case, as my family wouldent eat more than that. Some years an extra 10 days is a welcome sight trying to get those 2-3. This year for example....Today is the last of it, and I havent had a shot at a deer yet. I seen 3-4 one morning a thousand yards away in a field, and 3 more one night, when it was much too dark to shoot at them, or even identify exactly what they were. I dont think it's a "deer" problem, I think as others suggested it's a "neighbors" problem. Point is this... I wouldent have "depleated" the herd this year, if I'd had 10 weeks, and 10,000 tags.
