[Pick A Spot]

With all the rain we've had so far it is sure to impact the bowhunting this season. Biologist are feeling good about the available food for this years fawns and the added benefit of nutrition for antler growth.

I've seen debate on how all the rain can impact acorn crops. Some swear that it reduces the output and others are just the opposite. I know on our lease in North East Texas last year at this time all of our creeks that normally have water were dry. I would say it was a below average year for rainfall in NE Texas last year and we still had a great whiteoak acorn crop.

It has been my experience in my hunting area that wet conditions seem to produce more deer movement. It could be related strictly to temps rather then participation though.

Do most of you see the surplus of rain as an advantage leading up to October? We know that in drought years water holes, ponds etc can play a part in your plans. Do you have tactics that seem to work for you in wet years?
