Can anyone tell me what effect drought has on deer movement? We are 14 inches below are yearly rainfall average. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the situation.

Re: Drought
Makes water source sits a gold mine..... especially during the rut. If water is scarce, and you have a permanent source, sit on it all day.

Re: Drought
I'd also say whether it helps or hurts is specific to location. I'm on the WI/IL border and we are very dry, but still enough water around that they won't have to go too far to find a source. What it appears to have done for me so far is make some areas other hunters aren't interested in going more accessible. Also has made some areas usually under water viable bedding, which is making it a little harder pattern things, in particular related to past scouting. In an area where a drought really limits water sources, that could be dynamite for pushing deer towards the few sources there are.
