[QUOTE="volunteer1, post: 4127777, member: 12254"] You could of had the same of amount of hunters this past weekend as the first hunt and numbers still would be down. That's just the way it is. There is no other way to spin it. Sometimes weather has an effect on deer movement and kill numbers even if you have an abundance of hunters stomping around stirring up the woods. I've only hunted LBL for a little over 10 years but have never had any issue seeing deer and finding good locations. Me and my buddies have been successful on several trips over the years. Last years hunt had a similar results in regards to the amount of low numbers checked in due to 65 degree temps. and 25 mph. wind and there were many hunters around. I was one of the fortunate hunters to kill a buck that aged at 5.5 years as an 8 point but was a mainframe 10 point with tines broken off. I would venture to say if you had the same amount of hunters that were hunting this past weekend in more suitable weather that the bucks checked in would of been higher. I don't think the low hunter turn out was the most influential affect on the number of bucks killed. I'm confident that you could of had the same amount of hunters as the first hunt on this past weekends hunt and the numbers still would be down vs. the previous open hunt due to bad weather. Its just the way it goes. With that said I cant speak for those that have hunted LBL longer than me and if they have seen more drastic changes for the good or bad in deer population. that has not been an issue for us. Either way I enjoy going to LBL and will be back again! [/QUOTE]
