I have heard talk and read in variuos forums how the deer heard in Ocala is on the decline,is this true?If so why?The first year I hunted there (4 years ago)I did not see a single deer,but I spent alot of time learning the area.The second year I saw lots of deer but no shootable bucks.Last year I saw a ton of deer and 4 shootable bucks and was able to get one of them.I know the Bears are thick in Ocala but they don't chase full grown deer,maybethe deer leave the area on there own,don't know.What about poachers? I do alot of summer scouting in Ocala,driveing the roads,camping and such and this past summer and fall I found lots of cracked corn thrown on the ground at various deep woods intersection,even some corn on road 10 through Hughes Island.if the heard is on the decline is because of poachers or improper management? Since during the non hunting season Game Wardens don't even drive through Ocala(non that I have seen) I tend to believe tha poachers are playing a big part in the decline if the heard is declineing at all.
