[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5571848, member: 1409"] I've seen a single antlered buck in Stewart County since mid-January. Many had dropped both side before deer season even ended. I didn't realize how bad it was until the bucks started dropping so early. Although there was mast failure, I think the overall decrease in herd health was more related the 2022 drought. But with 90% of the larger oaks cut (due to high price of timber) in the past couple years, there simply cannot be many acorns in the new few years. In most of the county, most of the former hardwood stands are now pine, and the remaining hardwoods have been either clear-cut or select cut down to about 12" or less. [/QUOTE]
