Saw three small does together last night unhurrassed, and a very small fawn came by being chased by a yearling buck.


Not sure about IN but here in IL the blue tongue and EHD were both very spotty - there are areas west of me that DNR estimated lost 60-70% of the population. That could certainly be your issue...I've got a buddy over about 40 miles west of me that swears he has 3 deer on 200 acres.
