Even though this is a drought, I am still seeing forage and the deer look healthy.
I'm guessing antlers aren't being too affected.

What I am watching this year is how everything is so early, like 3-4 weeks early across the board. I'm curious to see if they shed velvet early..... I know it's driven by light, but so are other things that are being affected. I know there are always early shredders, but curios if the bell curve is early this year.

Other thing that makes me think that the animals are doing well this year is that I have seen 10 dead deer on the side of hwy 410 this year so far, and on a normal year I see maybe 1 or 2. I am thinking that a lot of animals were happy over the last 6 months...

How funny would it be if the elk rut were early and archery elk hunters got screwed yet again? :chuckle:

Dry & hot yr rut will most likely be late it all depends on the temps & if we get some rain in there. I myself won't get all pinched up about it, it is what it isI know it's driven by light, but so are other things that are being affected.

Didnt affect this guy. Most my cams look great. Most feed above 6k is still green and looks great. Town and fringe deer might look ragged.
Looks like a bull in the Observatory :rolleyes:

I don't think it will vary noticeably. Weather only changes the time of day the Marvin Gaye plays.
It won't be late unless the days don't get shorter like they do every year.
