Ace, lol, a good hopper pattern is almost as deadly as dynamite.lol. We get a lot of hoppers around here to the point of not sticking your arm on the window ledge while driving and having to clean our windshields more than often. The trout here gorge on them, fun to fish because they are so visible, about the best summer pattern i have found.
Increasing numbers of town deer. I thinks it's happening in lots of places. Often i can take a long ride out where once were a lot of deer to not see any, only to see more than several as i get back into the little towns near where i hunt.
I think it's a combo of the various foods available to them and the security they feel when not that many predators, including hunters, follow them right down into town. Good luck with your seasons!!
