Hey Scottsman, as a fellow mizzou hunter, it is my opinion that the unseasonably warm winter this year has something to do with it. I have video of my dad and I bowhunting together on the 6th of November of this past season. We are in long sleeve camo t-shirts and we are sweating! I forget how warm it was on that day, but on the video, I make a statement about the amount of bugs and the bats that are catching them at nightfall! We had the same problem here to, as did ALOT of the guys I know who hunt. Even though it never hurts to cull a few does out of the herd to help increase your buck to does ratio, I would be willing to bet the warm, no, HOT weather we had this past season had something to do with it!
