Like DD1 experienced, our drought here was pretty brutal, yet our deer seem to be doing fine. Also, just talked to a buddy that had been pheasant hunting, and his group limited out two days in a row.
I have NEVER seen any starving or obviously infirm deer on my game cameras, or in real life.
Question for the forum:
Why don't we see starving, injured, or just dying of old age deer on our properties?
Is the reason, that once they have a significant problem, nature/predators are so harsh that they quickly succumb? Or have I just not made enough observations of the actual situation for the deer?
