re: Better feed those deer--the drought has been tough

The Doe I killed this year in SW Louisiana piney woods had more fat than what I normally see on deer in this area. Like most of the state, this area is very dry and very little water for the deer to drink.

I remember reading that deer get something like 80% of their water from the browse that they eat. But in this drought, I would think the plants don't have the normal amount of water in them.
