Public land hunters numbers have dropped off to about none. From where I hunt I can see on the other side of the mountain where a popular WMA is located. At the beginning of the season it was like a parade every morning before daylight. I get to my spot about 1.5 hours before daylight so I get to see everyones lights. They looked like ants dropping off the side of the mountain with their lights before daylight. The last week or so I haven't seen any lights. The last two weeks of the season is the best time to hunt that WMA.
