[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5503546, member: 17"] In past years, I didn't like poor acorn years because we didn't draw as many deer from surrounding areas as we do in a good acorn year. However, those fewer deer in a poor acorn year moved a lot more, hence we as hunters experienced higher deer sighting rates. When I saw this total acorn crop coming, I thought, "Wow, the deer are going to be moving like crazy to find alternate food sources." That didn't turn out to be true. First, we saw very, very little deer range expansion/shifting (I suspect because of extremely low levels of energy reserves), and we didn't see that much more focus around easily accessible food sources like food plots. I have no idea why. But that said, I will no longer have a problem with a "poor" acorn crop year, just a non-existent acorn crop year. Poor acorn crops have their downsides, but the property still experiences good hunting. Non-existent acorn crops are apprently the death-nell of hunting for my property. [/QUOTE]
