[QUOTE="BSK, post: 1500223, member: 17"] I'm seeing poor fawn recruitment in the hardwood hills (summer residents) but excellent fawn recruitment in the nearby agricultural bottomlands. Same here. I'm hoping the mature bucks are all down in the agricultural bottomlands. The very wet summer has kept the crops growing longer than normal (and farmers got their fields in later due to the wet spring we had). Surprisingly, I got them at the salt licks. Right now is a really tough time for camera work. Deer aren't on the salt as much and food plots aren't up far enough to draw deer. And on top of that, we have a lot of fruit dropping (muscadines, apples and persimmons) that are spreading the deer out. Then throw in the early acorn drop, and finding good camera locations is going to be tough until the first scrapes appear. But I suspect we will see early scraping this year, as the deer are in excellent shape. Great physical shape usually leads bucks to rub and scrape more and earlier than normal. [/QUOTE]
