Maybe the deer in my small section of S Indiana have just gotten smarter than me. I think I'm just being paid back for the several years of early harvests. I remember in the old days in IN we got excited just seeing deer sign. Still, when there is a change in the area as dramatic as this gun season, I think there is a reason other than they got spooked by opening day. They always get spooked by opening day. Maybe it's local to my patch of woods, but these deersies have definately changed their habits. Time to go back with MZ and reclaim my honor. I like having the place to myself when it gets bitter cold, which it might over the next couple of weeks. Heck, if it was to easy I'd just probably stay home.
