Alot of trail cutting & tree painting going on in that zone. That might have tipped them off the pumkin army is on its way.

i'm not far from you. still going strong, fighting and pushing still.
in 65, R+R is right. all the guys cutting, placing tacks, and the tons of corn being dumped in there has them on high alert.
it's all going on at night now.

We have own 37 acres in Egg Harbor Township, with 75 posted. My wife feeds the deer behind the house and we can watch them in the morning and evening. From a month back we were seeing as many as 8 deer at a time. Several bucks with a real nice 8 pointer. Nobody has access to these deer but us, but by this weekend we saw none.
It is that time of year. the deer go nocturnial ant that is that. It has nothing to do with pressure, they just do.
This is my opinion.
