Any ideas?

I think it was EHD! Lol, just kidding, but after this past deer season it stuck in my head.

My guess woud be it was weather related. Not sure, because I am not a biologist, but I have noticed that many of the places I have fished for a long time, things have been different. The weird weather we have been having for the last year or so could have changed some things. Drought all summer and then rain...and more rain and....well you get the idea. My question would be how the hybrids fared following the massive drought and high temps. of last summer.
