Just wondering what you all thought about this.How will this drought effect deer feeding patterns this season?With little or no corn and soybeans,what will the deer forage on most?Also how does the drought effect oaks producing acorns.
i dont know what corn/beans your looking at but in Northwestern Illinois the Corn is about 4-5 feet tall, and the Beans are right around 1.5' tall and all is looking green as ever.
i am not doubting we have a droubt but it depends on what kind of irragation the farms have... most of the farms around here use the rivers and deep wells.
i dont personally think its gonna have that big of an effect on the herds
Daystalker, here in northeast Il it's dry as a bone I live in the Fox valley,And would bet the big reason that our rains dry up is all of the new growth and development.If you ever watch the weather channel you can see storms and fronts coming then when they get just east of rout 47 they dissipate.Years ago this wouldn't happen.All this pavement and vehicle emissions I believe is the reason.The air and ground can't hold moisture enough for rain to happen.
