Just wondering what yall are thinking about the number of deer your seeing this year ? we are in southern Allamakee co. and the deer numbers we've are way down. Now it was a different year weather wise. That might have had something to do with it just didnt see hardly and deer in the timbers. Whats your thoughts ?

Northeastern Clayton county here and deer sightings are extremely low. I've also found two dead in the last two months from unknown causes. Healthy looking, just dead.

EHD hit very hard last fall in places. Buck numbers were down where I hunt as well. Mahaska county.

Northern Fayette county I didn't feel was too bad this year. Seems the does are way lower than usual but the buck numbers seem to be fairly average for the last 5 years. Still nothing compared to 20 years ago when I started hunting.

Southern Warren County - deer numbers are way way down maybe just 5-10% of what they were five years ago.
