With the general season completed, I thought I would see how other Polk County and surrounding area hunters felt about the overall deer numbers this past season. Without any real changes to my land, with exception to it now holds some hogs, the deer numbers and deer sightings really dropped off in last few years and then noticeably all of last year. I did not see many this summer and the trend carried right fall and hunting season.
That I know of there are no neighbors pounding them unmercifully and the hogs are not bad enough to drive deer out of an entire general area. I even have a big MLD club on one border. I have my theory, but before I spew unscientific assumptions out onto TBH, I thought I would ask what others saw this year.
It’s important to note, I am talking overall numbers, not big bucks. That’s an entirely different thing.
