I hate to say it, but I'm glad to hear it!
Before opening day the deer were at the feeders like crazy. In two days I had 332 pics on the trail cam.
I've been going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong this year. The first three days of season were pretty good and then it went downhill. Every time I went to the lease I saw fewer deer. The last three times out I have seen only one deer. And after shooting two hogs they have disappeared also.
The local game warden blames it on a bumper acorn crop, but I'm thinking there may be more to it. What I'm not sure, but I've seen more bob cats and gray foxes than normal also. Maybe they are more visible because they can't find the deer either.
I still managed to put two in the freezer, but I like to spend the rest of the season watching and taking pics and there's nothing to watch.
Anyway, I'm not really glad your experiencing a tough season also, it's just that misery loves company and I'm glad it's not just my lease.
