The last year or so I have spend a ton of time in the south east and central part of the state. All I can say is there is no where near the deer sign, the deer hit on the road, or the deer seen, compared to my home county in NE iowa right across the river. The amount of cover and type of terain is comparable to back home. Back home there are 30-40 deer per square mile or so in the county before hunting season.
