We are seeing a unusual amount of does this year. A normal year we try to harvest 6-8 does on our 150 acre's. This year we have set a goal of taking 15 as we are seeing so many. Our property was logged 2 year's ago and we added 5 acre field of alfalfa to our additional 5 acre's of food plot's. Not sure what the reason for the increased number's of does??? (We even had a small outbreak of EHD in our area.) So far we have 5 does down and I hope to get 3-4 more this week before the pre-rut starts to kick in. Our property is in eastern Switzerland county. What kind of number's are other's seeing?  On average I am seeing approx 10 antlerless per set. Hunting buddy and son saw 22 on one hunt last week. |

Lucky you. All the corn is still up around our area in NW LaPorte Cty. I shot one doe Sept 15, and have only heard deer one more time since then. SLOOOOOOWWWWWWW for us right now. Hope it picks up!

Deer numbers are down here in Ohio Co., but we were hit hard with EHD in my area.

Our farm is the only one with crops out currently. I've seen 4 racks, 2 buttons, and two does so far this year. Pulled cards last night and the cameras show the same. The buttons are making it hard for me to not make them my daughter's first deer right now though. Every day, same time, same trail.

Seen very few deer around me. Seems as though EHD hit real hard here in my area. I guess most of my time will spent in Switzerland county this fall.

My deer sightings in Morgan & Owen counties are way down this year.

Haven't been out much as usual at this point as I was sick, but what little time I've spent out I'd say it's down as well. Brown & Morgan Co. I'm thinking I might concentrate a little more on picking up a Brown Co. fall bird this weekend then worry about deer after that.

Seen just a handful of does. No mature bucks on the hoof yet, just on trail cam and that's just a couple. My numbers are way down
