[QUOTE="Allen, post: 429380, member: 389"] While EHD is certainly not out of the question, there's a chance you have a cat in the neighborhood. I can think of a couple of times where our neighborhood mountain lion sets up shop near the farm and within a few weeks the deer stop showing up. Cat goes away, deer come back. IMHO, it's one of the reasons mountain lions have such a large home range, their mere presence changes the habits of the deer. In the Bismarck area, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of deer showing up at my place this fall. Friends of mine have already taken a couple of nice bucks, and there's still enough bucks around to where I'd expect there to be a couple decent bucks next year as well and there have been a goodly number of does as well. Then again, a neighbor has said she's not seeing hardly anything, so maybe what has been visiting my place is something of an anomaly this year as I'm not seeing them on the roads during the witching hours. Note, the neighbor's corn is still standing, and that's where I have seen them come and go at my place which may explain why they haven't been on the roads. [/QUOTE]
