I live in a fairly rural area of SE Pa. I know that it has been VERY hot, and that we have not had much rain for awhile. Things do still look fairly green although lawns are turning brown.
It seems to me that deer movement into fields, sides of roads and road crossing has increased noticeably in the last two weeks. I might be over interpreting what I am seeing, but I would appreciate any incites that you can offer me.

i see deer movement pick up this time of year too. my theory is mainly because the fawns are large enough to travel and, the deer start mingling and forming herds again.

And bucks are getting their antlers harder to shed velvet and deer are starting to fatten up for the season change and breeding, yes it’s hot now, but their is a lot of good eats for the deer to get before winter

I'm probably wrong but I'd guess bug's. I took a hike a few days ago and the deer flies were literally bouncing off my head while in the woods but not bad in the fields.

Hot weather equals bugs getting deer up and moving- my guess.

Happens every year for reasons noted... fawns growing and moving more, food and water source shifts, crop harvesting, etc.
I think the fawn thing has a lot to do with it. From the time they drop, I rarely see a deer at all, for several weeks, until they really get their legs under them and start ranging out and then all of a sudden... deer again.
I saw a doe and then a nice buck this morning on the way to work.

I walk a road across from my house that is lined with soybean fields. I see 20-30 in these fields and had 5 bucks cross the road in front of me and not one of them saw me. They were in their bachelor group. Was nice to see

The soybean field had 11 bucks in it yesterday. The most I have ever seen. They will disappear on the 25th of September
