I didn't get to go, after planning it for over 2 months.
Only 8 hunters, which was about 12 fewer than needed to cover all the property adequately. They got 13, which was pretty good for the weather we had, but not as many as we needed to take out, or I had hoped to get. 8 males, 5 females, most of them young pups but enough adults to impact the population. They took a couple of hides, then placed the carcasses for bait (a handful of them are still out there this morning, and I may go later today).
Overall, a good night, but we can do better. Shit....we HAVE to do better
I'll post pics as soon as they send them to me.
So we've taken out 21 this month, 31 since Christmas, and 39 since the start of deer season. And we've only been working 640 acres so far.
We'll be going every full moon for the next several months, and we'll be out in smaller groups intermittently between the moons.
