Something strange going on in our woods. We aren't seeing deer. We figured they were all holed up in the uncut corn. Well that's been down a couple weeks. We still aren't seeing the deer we used to.... I mean it was a sudden total drop off this year. Not sure what's going on. I wonder if we didn't have a big die off or something. We're not even seeing the does and fawns we used to. Where we used to see herds of 8 or 10 daily and sometimes herds of 30.... we now see one or two and feel like we've had a big day. The people are hunting the property next to us which usually helps... but they just aren't there. Take last night. I decided to just sit way off looking into a hidden corner where there were always 12-20 deer come out. Last night...2. When Rick and I left the woods well after dark I run the lights out across two other cut corn fields.... ZILCH. We didn't see the deer in crop damage or anything. The nearest big sorce of water is not on our property or I'd cruise the big brambles along it checking for bodies. I did see 6 different bucks in the past week 3 across the line..... but I only saw 4 or 5 does. Something strange going on. Even during the muzzleloader days I only heard 2 or 3 shots around us.
