I was reading on cnn.com about the floods and it said that Levee breaks in Adams county Illinois caused 30,000 acres of woods and farmland to be under water.

Near Oakville Illinios floodwaters covered 21 square miles of corn and soybean fields.

Of course the first thoughts are with the people who are impacted bythis disaster. But the picture below from cnn.com got me also thinking about the deer herd in this area. What impact will this have on deer hunting in places like Adams county Ill and parts of Iowa and Missouri that border the river.

I'd have to think that alot of the fawns will be unable to escape the floodwaters. And also much of the crops will be destroyed so there will be less food to go around.

(The caption on the picture called this a "school" of deer LOL.)
