Lots of dead deer due to hunters and highways. Lots of extra pressure during the rut. Lots of bucks that are really worn down from the rut that are laying low in the thickest gnarled up pine and briar thickets eating saw brier and privet. And lastly they're extra fat from all of the corn feeders everywhere so they aren't going very far to find enough food to keep them going until they can relax because of deer season ending. Half of the corn will dissapeare then and they will be on their feet more looking for groceries.
