Last year I was mowing the grass a few days before Christmas. As a kid, mowing never went past the end of September or early October.
Aside from temperature, there is wind. I have felt that it is getting increasingly windy around here. I googled “Is there more wind” and found several references to a big up-tic in windy days and wind speed since 2000.
Interestingly, I just read an article about deer/elk populations in north america which had a graph showing the population from before the low point in 1900 to the peak in 2000. The overall population is down 18% from the peek in 2000 (which is still below the pre-settlment populations).
Wind disturbing rut? High temps disturbing rut? And finally, wind making my arrow miss the deer? – Archery related 😀 😳 🙄
