you know the first thing i saw in that first photo
was a picture of a mule deer and a bar graph
in looking at the bar graph there is a peak in mule deer then sudden drop for a few years.
seems like its almost every 20.
maybe the lack of deer this year maybe its the drop were seeing right now.
there seemed to be a pattern of highs and lows

And even with Idaho's relative huge budget, for every die-off, the mule deer populations don't return to their previous numbers.
