I was the only one in my group to get a deer here this yr...suppose thats why my wool is black..we average about 8 a yr..i kno the neighboring property got 4 taken all yr..that was down..the biggest difference was the crop change..usually corn..but this yr was peas then oats midway thru summer..oats were harvested..so i havnt seen deer yarding up like usuall on the back 40...i hope with the coming yr along with the return of the corn the apples do great..past 2 yrs have sucked...early frost
