I don’t think it’s recovered to that extent where I’m at, because the deer don’t have the groceries like they do around your places. The green field our mutual friend plants every year beside my north easement entrance used to have over a hundred deer a night on it, but I haven’t seen more than 25 or 30 at one time recently. That’s still a lot of deer but not like it used to be. My neighbor claims to have seen as many as 50, but he’s lied to me more than once.Depends on the part of the state. If you'll notice doe seasons aren't the same state wide. No matter the drought conditions in SE OK, there's still water, and still browse. In NW during a drought, there's little to no water, and little to no usual crops, still some browse. 2009-2011 years decimated our deer population. Now it's back above where it was in 2009. It's nothing to glass my wheat fields and see over 400 deer across a two mile stretch. Move down the road a couple of miles and repeat on the neighbors wheat and so on.
