I'm curious to hear of other hunters that watch their deer numbers throughout the winter, spring, and summer. Kill off from winter? Over population of coyotes? Disease? Drought? Or numbers look great!
NE Montana has a lot of snow, around 2ft total making it hard for the deer and pheasants of get to the ground. Drastically cold Temps hanging around -30 to 15 above since mid December to mid January.
Sheds have dropped on a few smaller bucks, but most bucks are holding on to their horns.
