RE: Where did the Deer go?
Yes killing and eating 15 deer per household is not to blame.
Yes that makes a lot of sense.
14 deer * 50 lbs / 52 weeks = 13.5lbs per week.
They probably threw away 10 deer.
I have seen the slaughter and I also have seen the deer laying at the landfills the day after the season. I am personally buying every tag I can for my WMU and no doe will be tagged.
Last year I had 3 doe tags None filled except for a great 9-pointer.
