LKN....My txi said the same thing....and he STAYS booked.
I talked to the wildlife Bio., last night, at length......and he said the mast crops (lack thereof)were the cause for the erratic deer movement, this past season.
He said buck sightings were down, statewide. I know they are there.....but where I have access.....if they're not on mast crops....I actually DON'T have access to them.
I have 2 mounts, now.....and both were rutting bucks.....chasing does. It's something, though, huh?
