I'd say my sightings are down by at least a third, that's including just driving around looking for deer. We had 3 does that I watched all summer long and none had any fawns. Not sure wether they lost them or were never bread. My neighbor has had 4 calves attacked by a "big cat", i'm not going to say a cougar or large bobcat, but the vet believes it was a cougar. I saw pics and it looked like Freddy Kreuger got a hold of them. there was hardly any place on them without a claw mark. So I wonder if this is the cause of the lack of deer. I did find deer parts a few times this summer. Just curious to see if any body elses sightings were down too or if it was just my arrea
