Picture "dead zone"

[BSK]

I have noticed that some trees are already dropping acorns in my area (greater Nashville) so maybe that plus the increased browse as mentioned above is scattering these fellas. and the few buck pics im getting are hard horned already!

Unfortunately, we have no acorns in my neck of the woods. But I too have noticed acorns dropping early in Nashville.

I had a bit of luck with trying mock scrapes in September, but certainly not to the extent you could make an accurate census from. All of the scraping I got in September was 1.5-3.5 year olds
