I see the down trend now as I shed hunt. Not as many tracks/trails and there places completely absent of deer sign which historically always held deer this time of year... I hear this from others as they shed hunt too.......found 4 winter kills yesterday shed hunting, 1 very old deer(Doe) and 3 young(1 button/2 doe fawns)....this cold and snow is tough this season on deer and we have more snow coming and no end of the cold till the end of march... heck, we still have a foot to 18" down in many places.............Porter county was down 129 deer from '12. Not down as many bucks(-26/2012 to 2013)as compared from 2011 to 2012 which was down 80 bucks. But it is still showing a decline...the question still is, will they back off the antlerless tags to 3 or less ??
