Noticed the same thing here. Musta been a shift in the tectonic plates, mountains are not only steeper, but higher than they used to be.
On the good news side though, the deer are heavier than they used to be too.
You really notice it dragging them out.Much more than before.

That's so true, seriously though I have to say even after all these years of being around deer I am always surprised by their weight. They never weigh what I would expect. Take the doe my friend shot yesterday she was nice and fat and her trunk length and girth was easily the size of a St Bernard we use to have. The dog weighed about 168 lbs but this doe I guessing would probably weigh in at 120 lbs or less. The dink was noticeably longer and more pot bellied than my old lab but I'm Guessing the deer would weigh in the 60 lb range my chubby lab weighed 78 lbs. maybe it's bone density or just pure muscle but deer are always weigh in surprisingly light
