Shouldnt this drought we're in make it easier to kill deer right now??

That is a very broad statement. Many factors at play. They will be where the food and water is. If you do not have food and water on your property, you will not have any deer. If you planted early and have a greenfield they will be pounding it, especially if you are the only one around with GF.

I agree with hawndog. When we were at the camp last week we saw several deer come to drink in the pond. It was also full of tracks and trails around the oaks and wild persimmon around the pond. We also have 2 creeks that always have water running in them. I saw a ton of tracks on the edge of those also. I don’t think it would be too difficult to kill a deer right now in this dry weather. Hopefully y’all will get some of this rain. We’re finally getting a little bit and supposed to increase as the afternoon goes on.
