RE: OK VA boys--this is the weather we have been waiting for this year!
fllips2--my fairfax hunting is almost exactly as you described. the last 3 years -i was seeing at least 3-5 deer 95% of my outings. this year i only see deer about 1 on 4-5 sittings. i hunt on a real small area(1 acre). there are no oaks around my spot. my spot was timbered in the spring so that may be a big part of the limited deer sightings. i have shot some does but i have hunted there at least 15 times so far this year. i saw some nice bucks there in august--but i think they have run into the park to feed on acorns. im hoping that the acorns get eaten up or start to rot to get the deer back over to me.
