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.

I started putting a glass of ice water next to my corn piles and my cameras went into over drive.

Depending upon your situation hunting a water source could be really good right now. One of our properties is ~260 acres and has absolutely no standing/running water source right now. I know deer get most of their water from vegetation etc…but it is so dry I’ve got to believe there are situations where water is now a limiting factor and if you have it, it could be some good hunting.

Deer around our house are actually drinking out of the bird bath in the front yard, pretty much drinking it dry every night.

I’ve noticed the deer are staying close to water in the last two weeks. Every mud hole that’s left is covered up with tracks. It’s crazy how many tracks are at my lake.
