Will the drought affect the deer this year?

Going to be an early harvest. This will help some farms I hunt and kill me on others.

Early harvest huh??? I was wondering if the farmers would be leaving the crops on longer or if they will be cutting everything early...

good question big hunt! I have been thinking about this as well

well I say yes and NO
as in droughts crops don't grow right and as such weights on deer can be down, as can racks and over all health of the herds in the area

as for cutting crops early??
some might due to they did plant a lot sooner this yr in many places, but with the dry weather, things are goring slower, so, maybe not

good things is , you can hunt water holes, they should be hot spots in many area's this yr, all the more so about crop fields, eating dry foods makes them thirsty !
