[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5764216, member: 17"] How about last year? Historic drought. At my place, from early June to late October it rained a grand total of 5 times in 5 months. Never seen such a drought. Very, very hard on the deer and habitat. Had virtually no rubs or scrapes. This year, drought started in mid-August and is still continuing, but a great acorn crop and the deer are responding. Many studies have linked sign-making (rubs and scrapes) to the acorn crop (in acorn-driven deer herds - those that rely heavily on acorns as a primary fall/winter food source). The more acorns, the more sign. It is suspected that big acorn crops provide extra energy for bucks to burn, hence more sign-making. [/QUOTE]
