[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5132522, member: 17"] Just don't make any drastic changes due to one bad year. Again, an area can experience something region-wide that greatly reduces daylight deer activity for a season, leading hunters to think the deer herd has shrunk dramatically. Maybe it has, but highly likely it hasn't in a single year (unless there has been a massive die-off from EHD, which usually gets pretty widely reported). Last year saw the biggest jump in antler quality per age-class in western Middle TN I've ever seen. And I mean it was huge! Average scores were up 15-20 inches per age-class. But I strongly suspect it was just a single-year event, and things will be back to normal this year. But we shall see. I only WISH I saw a deer or two every hunt. In a great year, we see deer on 50% of hunts. In a bad year, 25%. [/QUOTE]
