For our ranch in the hill country, wet isnt all that bad. The wetter it is the less acorns we seem to have the ones we do have spoil quicker once they are on the ground. What is bad is when it is real wet like right now and then dries up about September or so. The acorns do better from what I notice and the deer quit coming into feeders and foodplots like they normally do. For our place in S. Texas it is the complete opposite. the wetter it is there the worse it is as the deer then have hundreds of water holes to choose from and a huge assortment of natural browse to go to. The bigger bucks will hardly even leave their bedding area if all this is relatively close. So I guess in a nutshell it affects different areas differently depending conditions and such.
