[QUOTE="BSK, post: 4997847, member: 17"] I've seen good acorn crops and poor, wet years, dry years, and normal years. But in the 30+ years I've been running cameras, and the 20+ years I've been running photo censuses professionally, I've NEVER seen anything like the jump in antler development per age-class that I'm seeing this year. Interestingly, whatever the factors involved, they did not seem to impact yearling bucks. Still the same general percentage of yearlings that are spikes. But 2 1/2 on up, big impact. I have no doubt the reasons are a "perfect storm" of positive influences that only rarely line up, so I'll try to enjoy this anomaly while I can! But I truly hate unanswerable questions... ;) [/QUOTE]
