Circumstance has allowed me to have hunted as hard or harder this year than any others in the recent past. This season I have seen only 7 deer and only killed one. Where as in most years I would have seen at least several dozen and tagged out by now. Everyone in my area is talking about this very thing. And I have not heard of any really exceptional bucks being taken this year.
True, the mast crop has been heavy this year but I can't believe that is the sole reason that deer are so inactive during daylight. Thinking they may have learned to read a calendar.
