[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3897837, member: 17"] Our peak [i]used to be[/i] about the same dates; basically, Nov. 18-22. But since the EHD outbreak, a new peak has developed towards late October and early November. The Nov. 18-22 peak still exists, but as a distinctly secondary peak. I originally posted this graph in the Trail-Camera Forum, but I think it is appropriate for this discussion. The below graph displays the average annual number of unique older bucks (2 1/2+) photographed on my property each day from mid-October to mid-December during two periods: prior to the EHD outbreak (2003-07), and following the EHD outbreak (2008-14). Notice how prior to the outbreak (the green line), a peak existed in mid-October (centered around Oct. 14) and mid to late November (centered around Nov. 20), with a smaller surge in late-October/early-November (Oct 23 - Nov. 5). Those mid-October and late November peaks still exist in the post-EHD years (purple line), but now the smaller peak in late-October/early-November has expanded (Oct. 19 - Nov. 10) and greatly increased in intensity. The peak dates in this graph very closely match our hunting observations for both the pre and post-EHD periods.
