I didn't put my deer up on this thread so I thought I would add it to the pile....
i agree with the rain and nutrition. i know even body size wise there seems to be a lot of fat,fat deer walking around. typically those 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old deer are pretty easy to distinguish, but this year they seem to be little horses themselves.
