How many dead deer?

[bronson ridgerunners]

I don't know if anyone has already done this, but i would like to see a running totsl of how many dead deer we have all found this year, hunting or shed hunting. Please list what state you are from when doing so. IOWA-23 to date, all doe's. South Dakota -03

Iowa, in the ball park of 40, mix of bucks, shed bucks, and does.

Three fawns on ~400 acres. Appeared to die in their beds, guessing starvation. East central Iowa. The late born fawns probably didn't have adequate fat reserves built up then the ice storms capped the food sources.

I have found 5 dead bucks on my 270 in Iowa, couple does/fawns. I was sick when I found 5 BUT I found sheds off of 31 different bucks on my land as well. Kinda evens out I suppose.

1 dead buck
1 dead button buck
1 dead doe


That makes.... threEve. Right?

 

[moosehunter]

I havn't been counting but it's kinda scary. Has to be more than two dozen. Found several in or around bedding area's.

Here in central Ill I have found over 70 since Oct 1.Blue tongue hit us hard!

 

[BWK]

Oh yeah 9 wre bucks and the rest were does

I've found 6 in the past 2 weeks on my place. 4 were definately in and/or near the bed....leading me to believe starvation. Which is tought to take since I work so hard to provide year round food. Unfortunately I expect to find more now that the ice and snow is deteriorating. I also found 2 dead turkeys. Since they are smaller and tend to tuck away and die....I think the toll on them will be higher, in my area ,when its all said and done.
It all sucks either way.

I dont know how many does but three bucks so far. Hopefully no more.

 

[dblmainbeam]

I have found about 15. 4 were bucks 1 had the antlers sawed off.

 

[iowaqdm]

11 so far. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif
8 - button bucks
1 - 1.5 yo old buck
1- 2.5 yo buck
1 - yearling doe

I have only hit about 50% of my shed hunting spots so far due to the snow. It wont be long and the ground will be bare. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Hwy 218 from IC to Mt. Pleasant is littered with carcasses all of a sudden. More than during rut. It's crazy right now.

 

[SaskGuy]

Kill sites......25, heads or even more than 1/2 a skeleton. 0

 

[bronson ridgerunners]

so we're up to 236 deer between 13 people so far.

I'd say around 15+ since oct. 1st. I found one of my buddys 140" 9pt that he shot Early Muzzy so that was alright. Other than that just alotta does!

I've only found one little fawn, it was pretty eaten and stunk pretty bad. So I didn't investigate it too much. I bet this will help with the DNR wanting to control population.
