Skinny deer
Four deer came by my decoy setup yesterday and stood around checking them out. All of them were skin and bones emaciated. Acorn crop failure and harsh winter, I guess. They didn't look sick, just skinny. Can't tell sex with no antlers but not one looked pregnant.

Re: Skinny deer
I saw one like that the other day. A week or two earlier I saw deer that looked fat. I think they are starting to drop their fawns. Hopefully they are okay.

Re: Skinny deer
A drought this year after the tough winter with no acorns would be devastating to the deer I believe. Thankfully, that doesn't look to be the case so far.

Re: Skinny deer
The deer I have seen have looked smaller and more skinny than usual as well. Hopefully they can put the weight back on this spring and summer
