Pretty neat information. Here in AZ our Coues Whitetail are just now fawning. I think its natures way to have the young born when its slightly cooler and the monsson rains have come and greened things up. Our mule deer in my area dropped about a month ago.
Gary do you have a link to that site?

To those with an interest, this should be a link to the blog entry regarding moon phase.

http://ecosystems.psu.edu/research/p...Forest+Blog%29

I believe you can access all of the posts via the site but there are several years worth of posts.

This big bully has been terrorizing the neighborhood for the past few days. It appears he maybe getting in the mood for the circle of life to begin anew.

He's a bruiser and will run off a number of smaller bucks until he meets his nemesis.

The squirrels are having a field day in the oak tree feasting on ripening acorns while the doe and her fawn are cleaning up remnants of what the squirrels are leaving behind.

I have a few shagbark hickories in my pasture. It seems that a squirrel or two will check out the nuts periodically and then all of a sudden they proclaim them ready. That occurred this week and now there are mobs of them cutting and eating. Drives my dogs nuts.

The amazing thing is that the deer eat what the squirrels drop to the ground. Amazing because those nuts are wickedly hard. It takes quite a whack with a hammer to break one but the deer grind them up one after another.

Default Watermelon, as an attractant?

It was the very 1st time we've ever put out a piece of watermelon -- and within minutes look what showed up . . . a nice eleven point buck! It's the 1st time we've seen him this summer and he brought the whole fam-damn-ily along with him!

Here's a little tip for you. Wild Skies' Tip #219: When venturing out into the woods with bow or gun this fall seeking that once-in-a-lifetime buck, don't forget to include a roll of toilet paper and a watermelon. It works the very 1st time. Everytime. Proven here.

Our horses LOVE watermelon rind. It's one of their favorite treats. So, I'm not surprised the deer are attracted too!

I happened to see a doe and three fawns crossing the road on the way to work this morning. Right in the middle of a residential area I go through.

We've been feeding our deer watermelon for yrs - they love it but won't eat the whole rind. Toss some pears out sometime and watch the deer step over just about anything, including apples, to get at them.
