[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4377356, member: 69"] Debatable I guess.... I don't know which was worse on the deer population. I think the 2011 flood caught the island at full capacity and removed an extremely large percentage of the deer. By the time the 2015 flood hit the deer still hadn't recovered and the flooding was just as devastating; removing the deer again albeit a smaller number. If the numbers were already down between those 2 floods that could only mean that many were killed during the first flood and of those surviving, many never returned to the island. It would stand to reason that with fewer deer involved those numbers would be down even more. With the limited food supply on the island I would suspect that of those surviving and temporarily displaced, many were displaced into more optimum environments and took up residence in their new homes.
