I usually find a few, used to find lots in the deer yards up north, always picked clean by the wolves

Re: dead deer
Interesting. Not surprised to find dead ones necessarily, but surprised I am finding them as frequently as I have been. Winter has been fairly easy here in southern WI so far, and predator sign hasn't been any higher than I remember seeing. Maybe I am just finally dialing into some areas with higher deer populations. I hope that is the case!

Re: dead deer
I've found two while scouting this winter. It's also been very mild here in upstate ny. And, essentially, zero snow fall this winter. I was thinking, when I found the first one, that beast hunters probably find lots of dead deer while scouting because we're out looking for all the places deer like to hide from danger and by transition lines near water, and aren't those the places that many deer go to to die? Made sense to me that I'd run into lost deer and dead deer.

Re: dead deer
I will usually fine two or three dead one's most seem to be predator kills. I have found a few in the past years that looked to be bedded fawns/yearlings that may have died from the cold/starvation.
