Yeah, thanks. I think I'm more inclined to believe that. Mostly because it's year after year after year. This year there was no food, little water, but tons of small doe all over the place. I htink teh mast crop was teh worst ever. Add that to poor genetics and we ended up with horrible looking deer! We always see lots, just never big trophy racks--we scout all year from trout season right up to big-game.
