Not a sign of a deer all weekend, not even the "yard deer" that show up every day to feed on the lawn. I suspect a little has to do with the neighbor to the west was up with his four grandkids for the youth season. They filled their tags though they missed a few deer according to him. I'm guessing that explains the missing yard deer as they usually come from or toward that neighbor's direction.
Based on the appearance on camera of several coyotes, I'm pretty sure there is something dead on a different neighbor's land just south of my property line. The coyotes first appeared a few days after the youth season and were still hanging around this weekend. I'm willing to guess that at least one of the "missed" deer wasn't. I'll know for sure after the season or earlier if those neighbors to the south fill their tags.
