[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5246263, member: 17"] One of the things I track over the years is hunter-collected deer observation rates (deer observed per hunting hour) for morning hunts versus evening hunts. What I find interesting is how highly variable these are from year to year on the same property for the same month. This is especially true of older buck (2 1/2+ years old) sighting rates. One year, morning older buck sighting rates will be several factors higher than evening rates. The next year, just the opposite. For the life of me, I can't find a reason for these annual fluctuations. I've looked at quality of the acorn crop and numerous other factors, but I can't find any statistical link to any obvious factor. I will even see trends over time, where for several years, one or the other hunting period (mornings or evenings) is much better than the other. Then the trend reverses itself for several years. I'm at a loss to explain this. Any ideas...? [/QUOTE]
