We don't have that big a population of them where we hunt. Have to work fairly hard to get them. So I think the inter-animal explinations may not be it. We had a good bit of rain in the late summer/early fall. The woods are just now getting nice and dried out. Does seem that the acorn crop is VERY spotty.........but there is lots of other stuff for them to eat.

Still I know that the calorie density of acorns is well about anything else ( Other than the corn so many folks us. ) that with a poor acorn crop they will have to work harder for food.

What do you think about the idea that they have not put on the winter fat yet? I know I'm reaching here but is it poaaible that they are running late on that. Of course I've never noticed it before..........
