[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5512694, member: 23329"] It seems one conclusion that can be drawn from all of this is the humans aren't the only ones that are "off" right now. Henry County: Nov 21 and 22 we had a buck bedding two doe in an area of the property the doe seem to run. Three different people confirmed seeing these were both mature does. I saw the buck, does, and the kids together one morning. Had a doe with triplets and one with twins living out there all summer. Took an 8 point buck munching at the edge of a field higher up and further away from civilization on the 30th. There were two mature doe and a young deer with each in the same field. No feed plot or anything except clover around the edge of the field. I have no knowledge of rubs or scrapes or where they will be on the property yet. Just starting to get to know the property and finding acorns. Last November we saw 7 or 8 doe/kids every other evening out the front door in a shallow cleared valley and several in this year's doe area if we drove the lane after dark. Now we're not seeing any in the valley and only a couple from time to time in the doe area. Definitely less activity than last Fall. However, in mid August I was in the kitchen around 6:15am and selfishly prayed we would get to see deer in the valley for our anniversary. After making pancakes for my wife (my one obligatory time each year to "cook"), we were headed out on the porch to eat and stopped before opening the storm door to check for deer. Nothing. Clicked the handle and a head pops up about 50 yards away...young deer. So I quietly shut the door and start eating my pancakes while standing there and my wife whispers look to the left...directly from the other side of the slope that goes down into the valley was the first buck we had seen here...beautiful stud (do those two words go together? Maybe I should have written "beautiful rack"...those two words go together). Thankful to see them that morning. Not much there since. Coyotes were 4-5 weeks late on starting to howl as a pack after dark compared to last Fall, but I don't know if this means anything because we've only had the property for 13.5 months. [/QUOTE]
