I wanted to see if it was just our land or are other people experiencing the same thing.
I have hunted this property for about 15 years and back before 5 years ago it would be nothing to see 20-30 deer a hunt with multiple rack bucks. About 5 years ago I started noticing the amount of deer and especially bucks I was seeing go down.
Then we get to last year. All year long I saw only 1 buck on camera that I would have shot(Mature, outside the ears, thick rack) and it was at night and only made 1 appearance on camera and even the does were not as many as previous years.
I just got back from checking my cameras yesterday and had over 1000 pictures from 2 cameras and only 1 buck that had a rack and it was a young 6 point.
What is going on? Is this just a problem for us or is this area going through some kind of deer herd problem.
I'm just confused and wondering if other people in the area are experiencing the same thing.

Sounds like the coonasses have invaded your deer herd. Welcome to what many hunters in Mississippi have experiences

I hunt in Jackson, LA quite often (right next to St.Francisville) and the hogs have been running deer away. Could be the same problem you are facing.

I hunt the state line on 967
Deer numbers are down big time.
Hog numbers up.
Also the maturation of the woods in the area doesn't help. Not thick like it used to be

Honesty, short of blue tongue or some catastrophic disease, I think all 3 likely culprits have been covered.
-Lack of Thick Cover
-Invasion of Wild Hogs
-Coonasses
Probably a combination of the three.

Same problem I have noticed at our lease in tensas outside of ferriday. Used to see plenty of deer but ever since hogs took over we are struggling to see any nice shooter bucks.

We hunt off of ford creek road and have this problem as well. Deer are harder to find.

I hunt Jackson, La. also, off Jones Vaughn Creek Rd. Deer population has stayed steady but hogs are every where. We don't see or here as many coyotes as used to seems the hogs have run them off??

Everyone has been using Nates buck bait and TreeCoys and killed all the deer around there

We hunt within 15 miles of you and have experienced the exact same problems. Very frustrating.
