Anybody notice a severe drop off of traffic in unit 121. Normally where I live there is a constant flow of hunters on my road along with hunters stopping and asking for permission. Seems that this 4pt min. has really pushed hunters to other units. Not sure if this was the intent of the new rule but seems to have had a big affect on how many hunters are hunting this unit.

Went over to my cabin near Hunters over the weekend-literally saw no hunters. Hunters and Gifford campgrounds which are usually full for the opener had no one in them ( two camps at hunters looked more like fishermen than hunters and only only camper in Gifford). Fruitland store people Saturday afternoon said they'd had only one group of hunters in and usually are busy all day with them on the opener. Looks like they took the pressure off the deer with the new regs. all right.
