My wife and I are contemplating a retirement move and have been researching Lake View Iowa on Blackhawk Lake in Sac County. We are looking at that area for a couple of reasons, the foremost being that it would still be relatively close to kids and grand-kids. I live in Pottawattamie County and have access to some great deer hunting, which I have really enjoyed for several years. I have tried to research deer populations in Sac County, and from what I have seen it looks pretty grim. No extra anterless tags issued last season, only about 300 total deer taken last season, and only 5 turkeys shot this spring. I think that is telling me that there are very few deer and turkeys in that county for some reason. I have never been there, as I said we are only starting to research this, and I can't understand why there are few deer in such a high agriculture area. Can anyone help me understand this, or am I reading the figures from the DNR wrong?
Thanks for any help.
