Default RE: oak trees


It's a good start and oaks are a good food source, deer love them. Tree Climber made a good statement, I would like to share a trick shown to me years ago and yes It has worked.

If you'er hunting in a oak patch and they are bareing, take a hand full of small rocks or even the acorns. When you get up into your stand and get situated, toss some of them down one at time during different increments, and if there is a deer with in hearing distance they will come in with an impression that acorns are falling.

I did this last year and sure enough I had a few spike come into investigate. They dang near came to the exact spot that the rocks/acorn where dropping.

I didn't take the spikes, but hopefully a bigger one may come in this year. It's worth a try.

Good Luck!

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
