[QUOTE="UpperTully, post: 5213174, member: 1983"] The soil is still the same rich soil as it's always been and I don't see how it would have any bearing on antler growth. I assume you ask due to the numerous comments on the excessive amount of sand the river dumped in 2011. The sand deposits caused some loss in productive soil from crops, but the positive to the sand deposits is it created a new type of habitat the deer will use. Years down the road, these areas will evolve into blocks of timber, thickets and a grassy savanna type habitat. However, they're planting beans in much of those sandy areas. Even though they will have some patchy areas of low yield, it appears to be improving as the years go by from from what I've been seeing on sat imagines since the flood. The sand issue is pretty common up and down the river after major floods. it's river stuff, for hundreds of years everything along the river has changed and evolved. It may take 100 years to make a major change or 1 flood event. Google maps don't show it but If you will go to the link I posted below, it will show sat imagery from this summer. For the base map, be sure to use "NearMap" and go to layers and unselect "Address Points" and "Emergency Service Zones". Zoom in and you will see beans planted in the areas that are sandy and will show there is a lot ground still planted in beans.
