[QUOTE="SportsmanNH, post: 2807559, member: 126773"] Deer are in pockets up there. One year you find a spot that is trampled with sign. The same spot the next year looks like a deer hasn't passed through in 6 months. So we have to scout hard to find where the new hot spot is. You are right about the food . Even that is different every year thanks to the logging practices. They have been wiping out the beech trees the last 15-20 years near us. They have also cut off at least 5 historic known deer yards that really put a hurting on the deer. Totally wiped out a 500 acre hemlock and cedar stand . You might of thought you were looking at the surface of the moon looking at it. It will take 35-40 years before it grows back to useful deer woods. On the coyotes , there was a vote in committee that was proposed by the far left screwballs , to stop coyote hunting by dogs, by bait. and no night hunting. Plus restrict the length of the season on them. F+G finally threw it out by a vote of 19-2 . There was one place we hunted a while back in Brighton with 6 inches of fresh snow. I bet there were 25 coyote tracks for each deer track. Maybe 10 years ago a pack of 9-10 coyotes ran by me in Bingham howling away. I managed to drop 2 of them and hit a third that ran off.. [/QUOTE]
