[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5783039, member: 10373"] I’ve had the good fortune to deer hunt for over 40 years. I can still vividly remember my first hunt and that first buck! But, it’s starting to feel like it’s winding down. While I’m getting older, my health is still good, praise God, the situation at Ames is changing for the worse for the deer club especially. The deer population is very diminished. For me and other members, our average deer sighting is about one for 10 hours on stand. That’s are hard pill to swallow. CWD has taken out many of the older bucks and with no antler restrictions, it’s open season on anything with horns. To make matters worse, a huge portion of the land has been sold and will be unavailable next season. I can’t see deer hunting anywhere else. It would be difficult to start over, especially knowing CWD is pretty much everywhere within a reasonable drive. I’m not sure what the silver lining is here. But I know I will continue, Lord willing, to enjoy the outdoors. [/QUOTE]
