Anybody else noticing anything strange?

[olddogrib]

I'm in piedmont region of NC and in the past couple weeks there have been an inordinate amount of midday deer sightings, numerous roadkills way inside the city limits, etc. If this were November it would be no big deal, but I've not seen anything quite like this. Around here, the whole urban encroachment thing seemed to level off several years ago. City deer sightings are by no means rare, but movement has always been a nocturnal thing.  I know that immature bucks get run out of the doe/yearling herds around this time of year, but these are mature bucks and does and not orphans. What gives?

I don't know but I have noticed it here in the Lowcountry too.

Yes, throughout my life I am noticing that EVERYTHING is increasingly strange. There is a message here, but I'll (for once) keep it to myself. strange dave

Critters are prolly thirsty and come to town for drink!

[Mudd]

Folks it's been just as unusual here in Missouri. Groundhogs, deer, and rabbits are out all during the daylight hrs lately. Go figure!
God bless,Mudd

I agree with Bowdude it's the bugs,along with the mid-day heat. Leland

I've seen two mid day deer in the past 10 days here in MD.  Last year, none.

....so much corn, here; and they're trying to eat it all.

I had to brake for a little spike that was crossing the lane to the club house, last week. Early afternoon...

I have noticed an unusual number of deer car accidents. In the past 2 months, I have hit 3 driving home from working second shift.
