OK, fellow OC deer hunters. Time to chime in on our yearly "How was your deer season" question. Tell us how your season went and what shape you feel your deer population is right now.
I will start off. As you know, I lost my main lease last year, so I scrambled and fortunately was able to get into a couple of leases in other areas of OC. So, I spent time on 3 different areas around the county, Sandy Cross, Glades and Palmetto ( I think that is what they call it). I saw 80 deer from a stand, which is about 50 less than last year, so my sightings were way down. BUT like I said I was hunting new properties and not familiar with them at all, so that had alot to do with it. I feel like 2 of my properties have a average to good deer population and one way below average (way to many hogs). I could not have asked for a better harvest as I was able to take 5 hogs and 1 120 inch class buck. I took hogs on 2 different properties, but they were on the other property as well, those things are everywhere now. No does taken, didn't have a need with all the other meat. I must say it was a great year overall, got to meet some new hunting friends and spend time with others on this forum. Looking forward to hearing from the rest of you guys.
