Oak Thickets
I am hunting a new area this year and after scouting all summer, I'm still not sure where to hunt. I am scouting an area where lots of finger ridges run together into one big ridge. The thing is that the whole area is laced with oaks and there are tons of acorns from years past on the ground. I talked with my hunting buddy who has hunted this area for years and according to him when the mast drops really heavy you hardly see a deer during the day but when the mast is sparse then hunting is excelent. My Question is why is that?? You would think that it would be the opposite hunting the oak thickets. Is it because the acorns are so spread out?? How do you hunt these conditions??
