Holy Crap, the LI version of "The Marianas Turkey Shoot". You think that was a good thinning of the herd there, or just a drop in the bucket??

They have been thinned pretty well on Shelter Island.we used to shoot 125 the first week , They have culls year round over there now.

Being old and increasingly decrepit I now just hunt on a nuisance permit. Unfortunately these deer are pressured 24/7/365 so unless its the rut,a couple weeks before and after, they are rarely seen, and rules, restrictions and regulations compound the difficulty. But what has happened to the posting of January shotgun season results? (Like Rocky Point, Sarnoff, Otis Pike, etc.) Even the shooting websites I frequent had no postings this past season.
