If you have a young age structure someone is shooting the deer.

Because if nobody shoots a deer..... you will have 5 year old deer.

100% of the time.

You have coyotes eating a lot of fawns.... yet you are still seeing plenty of deer but we think the weights are down. None of that adds up.

You cannot manage your deer herd with your rifle. That is a fools errand for 9 out of 10 maybe 10 out of 10 hunters. You aren't hunting in the Big Pen.

If you aren't seeing deer in the plots.... you have too much hunting pressure IMO. Full Circle back to the beginning. Stop the killing. Your hunting will drastically improve provided the problem is not your neighbors trigger habits. If so, then you have a much bigger problem.

If you are not shooting many yourself it sounds like you might have Lockjaw's associates in your neighborhood blasting 6 pointers... because if it walks past the next guy...it's dead. Someone's got to get it first.
