[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5392057, member: 2805"] If the drought on your place continues, the hunting this fall can be incredible if you... #1 have a water source (haul water to 1 spot if needed), and #2 have some native browse. Even if the browse is dry but has just a little green left in it, it becomes the preferred food source, especially if your neighbors don't have any green. One of the best hunting years we've ever had on my place was the horrible fall drought the year Gatlinburg burned. Noone around us had water, we still had a couple ponds that cattle couldn't access that had water. Deer (and older bucks) were hitting them twice a day in November. We killed more mature bucks that season than any other season hunting ponds and native browse (catbrier, coralberry) that was dry but not burned completely up. [/QUOTE]
