[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5266671, member: 17"] I agree that [U]reported[/U] harvests have declined more than actual harvests have declined over the last 10-15 years due to hunters not checking in deer. But those slow declines over time do not explain sudden and dramatic single year changes. Those are almost always due to weather and acorn crops (in areas of TN where acorns play an important role in fall food sources). In my county, over the last decade, reported annual buck kills have been ranging in the 1,300 to 1,200 range. Then we will see a bumper acorn crop year and harvests will drop dramatically. This year, the reported number is around 750. That's a massive single year decline, and definitely not due to under-reporting (which is probably a constant from year to year). [/QUOTE]
