Not being a smart aleck here. This time of the year, it seems the deer just vanish. I understand there are does ready to birth. I am sure they are not moving as much. I would assume they have been feeding heavily at night close to where they bed. What about the yearlings though? What about the bucks? Button bucks?
Just seems weird. I realize there isn't any corn or beans out there yet. There are still plenty of grassy fields though which are visible from the road. The temps are not as severe as they will be in a month or two or three. Takes away high temperatures as an excuse. Do they just stay in the woods more? It isn't like there are acorns dropping.
Someone clue me in. This is always something I have been curious about. I will admit to seeing two groups of 5 last Sunday morning while turkey scouting from a distance. Outside of those 10 deer, I don't think I have seen 10 deer total in the last month or so.
