Ive used rocks to jump deer in thick cut overs. Clapping ain't much different I reckon. Don't normally use that tactic till the end of the season rolls around, but i have seen it work.
All that aside, somebody better be putting something on the ground today. It's pretty dang cold here in NC this morning. North AL don't vary that much from the weather here (except in Western NC). The deer have to be on their feet this morning.
