I would say the last bad winter in our area was 1996, our winters haven't been anything to really reduce the deer population. Last year's Blue Tongue Disease put a hurting on them. I know we lost 5 in just our hollow to it and our buddy found 35 dead ones on his and lost 3 cows.
douge, maybe those deer have BLUE TONGUE THING.
you need to get ahold of game commission and get season CLOSED over there if doe are dying.
It's a disease spread by gnats and the first frost is supposed to kill the gnats and thusly the breakout. So I doubt that killed his deer over winter, but who knows when the deer actually died.
I'm going to start putting the Pennsylvania deer epidemic situation into the Global Warming catagory..........lol.
