well there has been talk by guys who have spoken to rangers and wardens - ehd, coyote, and of course the permit shot gun thing.
But officially i haven't heard from rangers of wardens, just word of mouth from other hunters. and you know how the telephone game goes. some guys near me did fine. I hunted back in 03 then stopped for a couple of years. hunted this year and yes i have not seen the same number of deer i have in the past. __________________ "Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what's happening, the second allows us to do something about it!

| I have seen no sign of EHD or CWD in my areas on the outskirts of Medford in Wharton. I think it's really tough to guage how much the deer population suffered from any of the 3 (EHD, yotes, and shotgun drives). I personally see much fewer does, but that could be any number of things. In fact, my trail cams showed twice as many bucks as does. That was great during early season, but by late October those bucks left in search of does. I think continued developement on the edge of Wharton has given the deer safety, bedding, and food. My buddy only hunts a few miles from me, but has that exact scenario being on private property that connects to Wharton. He has his pick of shooter bucks from mid-season on. In some of his trail cam pics, there are so many deer you can't even count how many are there! I think the other issue during late fall through winter is the number of guys in the woods. In my limited experience, these mature bucks and does won't tolerate any type of pressure and careless scouting, poaching, etc.... I had this happen to me this year and it really hurt deer movement at my go to spot. I think deer movement in this area changes from year to year, and unless you have proven spots that are monitored via trail cams, it's hard to say if in fact things have really changed for the worse. More likely the deer have just found another area to avoid the never ending pressure that exists on public land in our zone. | ||

| Hi everyone! This is my first post but I do read this site alot. I think everyone's ideas about the lack of deer in the pines are good, but my opinion is the cause of the lack of deer, particularly this year, is the lack of acorns. This is the third year in a row that the gypsy moths destroyed the pine barrens and I don't think the does are reproducing due to a lack of proper protein. | ||

| The gypsy moths seem to be everywhere. Every piece of woods I was in this year so far had gypsy moth egg casings on the trees. The oak galls on the black and scarlet oaks are also a problem. Oak galls combined with gypsy moths are a death sentence to the tree. | ||

No bucks left in south jersey, you should head north.  __________________ "Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what's happening, the second allows us to do something about it!

| when the weather breaks and the days get a little longer, that will tell the story ! just look in the fields you normally see deer in, and see how many or if any are there ! | ||

I hunt zone 14, 15 this time of year but come opening day in zone 23 I will be there ( Atco Area) I currently have a trail cam on my stand site and I am seeing a lot of deer about 30 a week and about 10 diffent bucks 1/2 of them I would shoot. EDH estimates are around 450 in the area. Over the last few weeks there have been more deer showing up. I get more buck on film around mid october. I have had a trail cam there for about 4 years but activity always seems to pick up on the cam around mid october.
I set my bait pile and cam up there Aug 1st every year so I do have an idea of there pattern there. These deer live in the swamps and early season they are held up there pre rut they start coming out |

Try Atco off Jackson Road behind Atco Race track. I hunt private land there but I have taken many deer from behind the race track.
As far as yotes I only have gotten 1 on film in 5 years my brother lives back in the pines and sees them about 1 x a month |
