Hey all, I've only been deer hunting 5 years now and have never hunted after a summer of heat & drought, so I was wondering what, if any effects this will have on the fall hunting season. The property I hunt is on a friends farm that has two ponds and pretty bad looking corn and beans, but no food plots.

I can only assume that this miserable summer has resulted in a higher mortality rate for fawns, but is it also lethal to some percentage of the adult population?
