[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5188718, member: 17"] I'm somewhat in the same boat Knothead. Because of the layout of my property (all ridge-and-hollow oak forest surrounded by huge agricultural bottomlands), in a great acorn year, we draw most of the deer out of the bottomlands up into our hill country because of the acorn crop. Our hunting season deer population peaks in those years. However, we don't see as many of these deer while hunting because they don't have to move much to find food. Yet, in a poor acorn year, we draw a smaller percentage of the bottomland deer, but what does come up into the hills moves a lot more daily to find food, and we see a much higher percentage of them. Sort of a catch 22. [/QUOTE]
