What’s ruined deer hunting on my land is feral hogs.I retired in 2010 and started hunting last week October and all of November.I hunted daylight til 12 noon and 2 -3 hours in evening,everyday except Sunday.I kept a diary,I was seeing 8-14 bucks a season,with does I averaged 1 deer sighting per hour.We don’t buy meat,I needed 2 deer,3 was better.First buck ,I basically shot anything with horns,then it was 8pts.or better,3rd deer had to be better than 2’nd or ugly horns.I would continue to hunt with idea if I saw a true trophy I would shoot it and break the law,didn’t happen.I let a lot of nice deer walk,I saw 50 bucks /5 years,killed 12.Then 2015 we had high water event,again 2016 pushed a lot of hogs on my property,since then I have only seen 9 bucks/4 seasons,killed 8.Hardly see any does,I have hunted as many as 12 days and not seen a deer.Now I’m back to shooting anything with horns,I feel bad about some of the young deer I’ve shot but like I said we don’t buy meat.
I’ve tried trapping hogs with no luck,shot or snared around 50 but I haven’t made a dent in them.Problem is there is thousands of acres of hog habitat around me so they come and go.
Wish I could just give up deer hunting but I’m addicted.
