PA Hunter, same thing for me we would see 30 deer but no quality bucks. Now in archery season we see nice 6,8, and even ten pointers pretty regularly. We started putting in small food plots in an attempt to help the bucks get some additional protien. With the deer population reduced the food competition has been reduced and the deer have started to put some extra weight back on. We don't have many hunters in our area, in fact we never see another flintlock hunter and rare that we see a bowhunter. Last year we took a wide 6, nice 8, a 7 on one side that lost his other side, this one was mine. We saw a nice 10pt several times but no one shot him.This was archery season with only 5 guys hunting.
