Hunters for the Hungry, (H4H) is running about 60,000lbs short |
|
this year. If you bag one, keep the mount, donate the carcass. |
|
It helps the needy throughout the region. |

I used to live and hunt in Virginia...the farm where I hunted |
|
was covered in deer and it was not unusual for us to take 30-40 |
|
dear during rifle season...this year they took 7 and said they |
|
are just not seeing as many deer any more...dunno what the |
|
problem is...kinda hard to donate to H4H if you can't |
|
choot'em... |
|

Hey B, looks like the farm may be going through a detterent |
|
factor or avoidance behavior. Your numbers above speak for |
|
themselves. May need to back down from the heavy harvests and |
|
not hunt those areas for a couple of years and give the |
|
population time to regroup. |

That could definitely be part of the problem...another problem |
|
is that all of the farm is a deer habitat and their primary food |
|
sources are other farmer's fields...some of the neighbors have |
|
figured out when and where the deer are traveling and have set |
|
up on the fence lines...they are doing this during muzzleloader |
|
season and getting them before we get a chance...the owner where |
|
we hunted does not, for some reason, allow us to hunt during |
|
muzzleloader season... |
|
We did plant food plots on the farm and the deer do use them but |
|
it is hard to compete with the large corn and alfalfa fields... |
