[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5495133, member: 17"] I've talked over and over about how big acorn crops affect sign-making intensity and timing in hardwood environments. To graphically display this, below I took the graph I posted early about normal poor-acorn year scrape visits by older bucks and added the average data from good acorn years. Notice how much earlier and more intense the amount of scraping is in a good acorn year. Breeding timing is exactly the same between good and poor years (on average) but scraping begins much earlier in a good acorn year and is far more intense. And now we have 2022, which is not only a very poor acorn year, but a severe drought year. Only time will tell if the entire "poor acorn year" data is shifted a week or two later in 2022 due to the drought. [/QUOTE]
