[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5266574, member: 1409"] In my primary hunting areas, I would say the main reason for a lower deer harvest this year is the monstrous acorn crop. Even today, December 30, the deer are primarily STILL just feeding on acorns! We have some really nice lush cultivated food plots still being near totally ignored by the local deer. When many the hunters have been hunting, they have not being seeing much, since most tend to hunt where they can "see" longer distances, such as field edges & food plots. But the deer just aren't moving much from any bedding to feeding areas, as they're bedding & feeding in the same places, with very little linear distance travel during any 24 hr period. This makes for very tough hunting for most hunters, so most in turn are not motivated to hunt as much as they normally might --- just because they're not seeing much from their usual stands over fields & food plots. Less hunting does usually equate to a lower deer kill. But I believe the local deer population is a little higher than it was a year ago. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
