The deer are in the best producing fields this time of year, so a field will draw deer a mile away etc.. The warm weather has made my clovers turn green and stand up already. The deer will certainly hammer them..
Population is definitely up in 8P there's no doubt about that. Our property you can easily count 50-75 deer a night feeding
After the 2022 winter and EHD deaths, there's bound to be an uptick in population.
You know the population is getting high when they start to sell those deer whistles for your car in gas stations.

Pretty difficult to judge a deer from a photo. Since the poster said that's what they weighed, you have to assume they were weighed on a decent scale and not assumed to weigh what he stated.
Needless to say the accuracy between different scales can vary.....
