Thanksgiving sightings

Saw more 2 1/2 year old bucks(tiny racks-inbred?) than past years.
>Sightings of this years offspring alarmingly few<
Wouldn't hurt to have the Doe limit reset to 2 a season(Why 10?) and the state should offer an optional value added liscense for Coyotes($5 or $10) with the monies generated for $50 bounty.
Seems the rut started about 11NOV(early).

Rain

Rained much of the night and looks like a wash-out today(Sat) BUT,I will take a look this early morning to see what shows.
I've missed 5 days of the firearms whole season.
Seen deer,1 black coyote(running like a Greyhound),1 bobcat(running),3 different loose dogs(neighbors),
only 3 squirrels!

tough couple of years in Fannin county Georgia. something big has happened; or a combination of big somethings. black tongue I am afraid is one of them. it will take many years to return to a once glorious deer hunting land. lay off em in fannin boys; lay off em...

I agree,something big has happened to the deer here.
The lack of spring fawns,lack of adults,lack of tracks.
I decided early on to pass on the does.
I may not take a deer at all next year but I will be their for Coyotes.
