my partner and I hunted the second season this year, and we too had a hard time finding very many bucks. We hunted high and low and were just not seeing the deer we have seen before when hunting the same area. Back in 2005 we were seeing 15-20 bucks per day and seeing 100's of does. This year we counted maybe 4-5 bucks and roughly 20 does in 5 days of hunting. I too have to say the winter kill was much worse than expected. We were not seeing any type of sign what so ever too. It was just awful. We were lucky enough to take these two bucks after working very hard for them. The first buck is a 5x3 that is 26" wide and 21" tall. He is very heavy all the way up and has 6" bases. The second buck is also a 5x3 that is 24" wide and 19" tall. We were very happy with the outcome, however the hunt was not what we expected.
