I’ve been hunting for over 30 years and these are the ‘golden years’ alright. If this continues I might run out of A-Maxs! I thought I had a life times supply.

I don't know if its like this across the country but I am also seeing more red deer than I ever have, and would know what to do with if I shot all I see, and I'm not even hunting properly due to an ACL reconstruction in my knee. My friends that own land are also seeing a decent increase in public land animals coming into their paddocks. Some areas they are as common as seeing rabbits.
