smo Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 It was a pretty tough year. The deer had plenty of acorns to munch on. Our hunting party usually sees several nice bucks, but didn't see any this year. We saw an 8 with a 16" spread. Biggest buck we saw. Just wondering how everyone else's hunting went?

Born2Hunt Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Tough hunting in Va. this year. Here in NNY I blame the weather for low sightings. It was either too warm, too windy,too rainy or all together just plain crapy. A lot of nice bucks taken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Daddy Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Tough hunting in Va. this year. I had the best season in PA since 2002, although you would believe that there are no deer left in PA by talking to some PA hunters. Maybe the PA Game Commission took over deer management in the other states in the northeast where the deer harvest is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Tough hunting in Va. this year. The weather wasn't real nasty. There was a few days with 50 mph winds. But for the most part the weather was good. What made it tough was the mast crop. And the apples were still on the trees at the end of Nov. which is unusual. Saw plenty of deer, but the big buck sighting were slim. I guess the mast crop and apples kept the holed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Tough hunting in Va. this year. Sometime you might want to visit QDMA'S web site. Kip Adams wrote a very good paper on mast and deer sightings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
