I was up at my hunt camp last weekend checking cameras. Had a few different bucks on camera as well as a few different does with fawns. When I was leaving camp Monday morning I counted 9 deer in a field feeding. 3 of them were bucks. Two nice 8pt and a little 4pt. Things are definitely looking better this year then past years. How is the line up and action looking at other hunt camps in central Ontario??

Lost of sign in 47 where we hunt near Restoule.
Good deer sign in 49 as well!
My partner saw a Doe and fawn on his camera with no bait out. I haven't retrieved mine yet
lots of deer also in 53
Yep, we have some nice looking bucks, does and fawns on our trails cams at our food plots.Quote:

Awesome!! Yea we seem to have a lot of bucks on cam this year as well, a few nice ones to! Hopefully some stick around until hunting season haha
49 looks good. Lots of does and fawns, some small bucks, 6 pt, 8 pt and large 10 so far.
Probably the best year over the past 5-6 for sign in 49. It won't top a decade ago when deer were crazy abundant, but it is getting back to normal. Another easy winter and it should be primed for next year. Cross your fingers
I’ve been seeing good action in 49 as well. I’d say perhaps fewer fawns than in previous years but lots of does and bucks, including two large 10 pointers. One has a split G2, hoping to see him during the rut.Quote:

I know a guy who said 2008 was about the greatest deer hunting he'd seen in 47 to basically none or 1 deer the last few.. hopefully things are on the upswing in those areas..
I hunted 47 from 1970 to 2002. There was a year in the 80's I believe that had so many deer you were almost tripping over them. A group I knew with 14 guys were tagged out in 3 days and were letting deer go. Was pretty much like that for 2 years in a roll. Everyone filled their tags. Then the year after that there were no more deer to be found. Winters were hard and all those deer shot was real hard on them. After that it was hard to see more then one in the week I was up there. Haven't been back since, so it nice to hear the deer are coming back.
All the deer I had on the camera over the summer in 53a seem to be gone. Went out today and expected to see some scrapes and rubs, nothing around. I have seen this in the past and done well so I won’t get discouraged.
