Parke, I meant our herd on our 140 acres. Although another farm I got permission to hunt I took my oldest daughter there 2 days with a crossbow. In the 2 days we saw 23 does so I would say that herd is ok. That's the same place my youngest daughter took her first deer from I think we saw 12 when I took her. I believe we would have seen more but had standing corn all around us. That farm is in East Enterprise where EHD was said to hit hard this year.

Everyone I have spoken to has seen normal numbers of deer. I saw deer just about every time I went. I killed 3 and guided children on 3 successful hunts so I'm not sure what you are basing this on but you won't convince me that the statewide deer herd is hurting to bad.
