[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5726115, member: 17"] Yes, big acorn crops can produce earlier and more intense rutting activity, especially in the Southeast. However, this effect is more pronounced the more "acorn-driven" the local deer herd is. And by "acorn driven," I mean how important acorns are as a food source to that local deer herd. In a big agricultural region, acorns aren't as critical of a food source. However, in the big sections of hardwoods that stretch across several geographic regions of TN, the deer herds can be VERY acorn driven, hence the size and quality of the crop is a major player in rutting timing/intensity.
