Last week I took a doe off of some great hunting property. I went there today, and saw not a single deer. Talked to the landowner and they said they havent seen any for the past week, when they would see them every single day without fail before I took this doe.
Funny thing is, today was the end of a big storm. It had been nasty for the past two days, and at noon it cleared up nicely. Nobody came to eat the alfalfa and apples tonight! I know they had to be hungry as hell.
Any thoughts?
Might be eating acorns closer to the bedding areas. They've changed their pattern,happens all the time. They'll be back.
I neglected to say that there is a huge white oak that drops buckets full of acorns each day. the ground used to be covered in tracks, now its covered in acorns.
I sure do hope they come back
That's not the only white oak with acorns in the area, they have others...See if you can find the white oak closest to their bedding area, that will be the first one they hit when they get up in the afternoon...
They are still in the area, just not out in the open eating alfalfa...
I agree. The deer near my house seem to have three distinct movement patterns. Which they use depends on the weather and activity in the area (farming, traffic, etc.). They will be back. Give it time.
