[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5492894, member: 17"] These are phenomenally good observations Bone Collector. Are you hunting near Murfreesboro? I ask because that region wasn't hit as hard by the drought as West TN. In western Middle TN (the ridge-and-hollow hardwoods of the Highland Rim), acorns are a major player in deer health and behavior. Because of the drought, almost the entire acorn crop was lost and deer are acting "strangely" because of that loss of their highest quality fall food source. I've gotten hundreds of reports from the region of what appears to be a delayed rut or trickle rut, and lack of older bucks on camera. This sounds an awful lot like what you're describing, but I wouldn't think the Murfreesboro area would be experiencing the same thing. [/QUOTE]
