Yeah, I can see the frustration as well. With the drought conditions and nutritional diets lacking because of the drought in the midwest, we are starting to see them drop as well. I suppose the only nice thing I have going in my area is all of my neighbors have bought into the management and very rarely is there hunting into even December (aside from the late muzzy guys). Thats the way we avoid slamming antlerless bucks; last year we had more than one drop by Christmas.

Hope he makes it through!
