Question for the Old Timers

[Fishbonker]

Not necessarily the chronologically old, but the long time deer hunters.

This is the greenest I've ever seen the crops, pastures, waterways, timbers and even my lawn, in August. Will this have an impact on deer movement? The succulants they are currently feeding on, it would appear, are quite abundant. They don't need to travel as far to browse. Nor do they need to travel as far for water, which they may be getting enough of from their browse.

So what do you learned masters, or anybody with an opinion, think? Is this unusually wet summer going to cause you to change your hunting strategies? If so, how?

Thanks.

Bonker,
I don't plan on changing anything as of now. But who knows I kind of decide moment to moment.

Depends more on what happens with the corn and bean harvest. I imagine it will be quite a bit later this year unless there's an early frost. The crops haven't had the hot weather to mature.

But I'm with Baggin ... I think the bedding area is still the same and they'll be moving from there to feed; maybe just not quite as far.
