[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5246334, member: 17"] I'll have to look at the weather angle. That's a possibility. But again, with the habitat angle, often the habitat doesn't change drastically from year to year, but the sighting rates morning versus evenings do. We will have a year where older buck sightings are virtually all mornings. Then the next year, almost all evenings. Then the following year back to all mornings. And that will occur in between any major habitat changes (timber cuts, new food plots, etc.). I've looked and these up and down mornings versus evening years and they are not linked to good or poor acorn crops. Stands are set up similarly from year to year (what features and habitat the stands are covering). I'll look at the moon angle, but I've been tracking sighting rates versus whether the moon is up evenings or mornings (waxing versus waning), and that doesn't seem to play much of a role. [/QUOTE]
