0 for me. Never even saw one while hunting.
2 for me
Earned my doe. Never seen a buck i wanted to shoot..
2....overall sightings were down. I guess because of the lack of acorns the deer were not where I normally find them.. Had several hunts messed up by Elmer, that never changes.

I took 3 out of there this year. Had a few encounters with some good bucks that I should have taken but oh well, there's always next year!
I didn't make it to the fort this year.
On the Fort, are they calling any buck with visible antler growth a Mature Buck?
So as to classify bucks on the kill sheets like a yearling with 4 inch long spikes, a "mature deer" ? Had a guy read the sheets last week of season and he told me about it. Been several years since I been able to get out there. What the heck is goin on out there? Or did he read some thing wrong?

There's a lot of does left on the fort, in some of the areas. But some of areas you can't even find a doe track. Last two years the hunting has went down hill in my opinion. I know several guys who haven't been able to kill a doe since they started earn a buck. If they keep earn a buck in effect next year also, the deer population will take a hurting even bigger then it already has. Just my two sense and what I've noticed.

I've hunt the fort a lot in the past but since the earn a buck program I haven't been. Just to time consuming and too much money traveling out there without being able to shoot a good buck if it comes by me first. Anyone heard when this might end?
Talk is this is the last "Earn a buck" year. Next year will be back to normal but I don't have hard facts on that. I was out in area 10 today and they haven't been logging it at all. They have been cutting all the small tree(1" to 5" in diameter) and leaving them where they fall. You can see a couple 100 yards or farther but can NOT walk thru it. What a mess!!! It wasn't the whole area just certain parts of area 10. I guess they may not be done yet so it could be the whole area by the time they finish. Deer were every where!!! I NOT questioning anyone's hunting abilities but I don't see how you can go the whole season and not kill one doe. Well unless you can only go several times out of the year, I would understand that but if you have been out there 4 or 5 weekends.?.?.huntforme7909":1q7rrmlh said:

When all you can get is 49 50 51 it's hard to kill a doe.
