Here in NH the herd is in poor shape with the exception of the southern most area. I live in the Monadnock region and the deer population is low while coyotes are everywhere and the bear population is booming. The deer have been taking a beating from both winter and coyotes as well as bear. Just had a neighbor loose to goats to a bear and my 16yr old grandson had a bear come out and cross our road right in front of him.
Most deer I've seen are either yearlings or last years offspring. All I know is we had a good herd despite the winters until the coyote population went berserk.
