I only heard one shot over the weekend. I think the timing of the rut is the main reason. There always seems to be a one to two weeks slow period right after the peak. I know the herd very well in my area and I see this every year. Of course one late doe and or fawn changes that area for a moment.
(LOL) I guess HPR's had a negative result (LOL).

That's what I was going to say. All those Indiana guys setting on the state line with HPR's. There is no possible way for one to cross back over to the Mother Land. |

There is one good reason for the HPR's. It gave me new reasons to explain why to my wife that I need one. Now I have the correct gun for yotes. Yotes are my main reason to purchase a HPR this year. I'm a little tight on spending money on my wants verses all the family wants/needs. |

Several Mid-western & Southeast states had lower harvest levels too. I believe the weather paid a large role in the harvests reduction over the past several years.

I did not hunt the gun season in Ohio this year. I had planned on going out on opening morning to fill my last doe doe tag. But it was raining all day. So I passed and packed my stuff away. I wonder how much the weather had an effect of harvest numbers?

I did not hunt either. Already had my Ohio buck and Indiana doe for the freezer. All the deer I need for this year.

What's funny is the property I bowhunted for the reduction program was loaded with deer. Over the course of November I seen 82. I harvested a doe and missed both a doe and a buck. I believe the amount 9f acorns and weather played a major factor.
