I like years when there are a good acorn crop myself, makes finding them a no brainer.

One thing I particularly like about an above average acorn year

With a good acorn crop, I think the average hunter sees FEWER deer while hunting, then hunts less due to his disappointment of seeing fewer deer, usually resulting in a lower deer harvest.

For this reason, I would expect the deer harvest to decrease in years of good acorn crops and increase in years of poor acorn crops,

Tndrbstr,

What you stated above is generally the case.
So it's somewhat baffling why the buck harvest went up in my area (in 2009 over 2008), although the doe harvest did go down.

Seeing a big acorn crop developing (before they hit the ground) still doesn't mean we'll have many (edible) acorns.

with all this rain we have had and have been having that there will be as many acorns as last year?

During years with more than abundant mass the deer can quickly adapt and readily avoid areas of moderate to higher hunting pressure and still fill thier all nutritional needs...
during low mass years the average core area for most any deer, and thus the herd as whole, is going to expand and folks are gonna be seeing more of em...imo

You have to hunt them where they are, not where you want them to be!

This is where you hear the famous, 'My area was full of deer last year and I killed XYZ, but this year they are all gone, I dont know what happened to them'??
