Thread: Mississippi River level effect on deer herds.

I have inserted a photos (I hope it appears on your screen) of deer escaping the high waters of the Mississippi River. These deer are on a levee that runs from Vicksburg, MS to Memphis TN and protects the MS Delta from flooding. Between this levee and the MS River are large tracks of land (mainly hardwood timber) that are hunting clubs, farmland, not practical to settle in. The water on the river is near the level of some historic floods of the past and is simply pushing deer east into farmland.
A friend of mine pulled his boat up to one of our deerstands, stepped onto the platform and catfished Saturday, the stand is 18-foot the the platform.
Thought you would find interesting.

It's questionable but i had wildlife management at school and in some cases they hang on to em. But yeah its questionable
