There are many variables. The largest one, imho, is the weather and/or habitat change. After the November arctic outbreak, it has been warmer than average over much of the central part of the country, and there isn't much in the way of river ice or lake ice. Let's face it, BE's are very much drawn to ice. It makes hunting much easier. Without river or lake ice, BEs will be more dispersed and unpredictable, I believe. Squaw Creek has seen a similar chaotic number count. Great numbers earlier in the month, but they've come down. I bet they go back up after this next arctic airmass. I've never been to LD14, but from everything I've read, the peak is late January/early February when the climatological peak of river ice is.
