[QUOTE="RockMcL, post: 5454382, member: 23050"] I am no expert by any means but deer, mature does in particular, seem to have amazing food source memory. If the other critters don't clean them out they will be back unless something else is better. I have observed a doe get out of bed, walk all the way around the end of the hollow directly up to a specific bush, eat a dozen leaves/buds off just that bush and then go direstly back to her bed and lay down. I have to assume she had been watching that plant waiting for the perfect ripeness. Not sure what is going on on my land this year but I am seeing acorns unmolested in areas where you couldn't hardly chase the deer off them recent years. Persimmons seem to have dropped early so maybe it has been a combo thing in the past. In my case the resident buck & doe numbers are also down in general but I am not worried since we seem to have plenty of food stores. Just brainstorming myself but this year so far it seems we have had an abnormally high number of days with winds from the north which here, with a fair amount of terrain, may be impacting safest bedding areas and therefore preferred browsing areas... Good luck [/QUOTE]
