I have noticed it here as well. I am thinking it is thier food source is changing as well as what some have shown the bucks are starting to rub the velvet already. I am not sure though what exactly is the reason. I have noticed the same with other animals like the bears and moose as well. I was thinking up this way it is because of bear hunting as well as folks training thier bear dogs. Perhaps in my case all the above???
