Even in areas with plenty of agriculture you' ll see a lot of deer this time of year that appear a bit scrawny.... especially the does. They' ve gone through some serious weight control problems with nursing the young etc. Most of the nutrients they take in go out in the form of milk to make those young bones grow so fast. They should be starting to pack on some weight in the next month..... but some are slower than others. You may indeed have a sick deer or two around. Watch for actions more than look for a big fat deer. You won' t see them butterball fat this time of year in the Southern climates.
