About this episode

The episode discusses how last year's acorn crop affected deer movement and hunting patterns in the Southeast.

Last season, mature bucks across the Southeast behaved DIFFERENTLY. Deer disappeared from traditional patterns, harvest numbers dropped, and hunters struggled to make sense of it. In this episode, we break down how last year’s massive acorn crop may have changed deer movement, buck survival, rut activity, and what it could mean for the upcoming season. We also break down why this coming season has the potential to be one of the best deer seasons of the last decade...if the conditions line up correctly! Got a question for the show?
