Deer numbers are way down in Nebraska. We are in a horrible drought, and just had one of the worst outbreaks of EHD in our history. Been a slow slow year. I was fortunate to tag out, but saw, (and continue to see while coon/coyote/turkey hunting) far fewer deer, and deer sign.
Couple that with it being 65 degrees throughout the November firearm season and it was a recipie for horrible hunting....
