Depending what time of year it is, a freshly falling acorn tree can be your best freind, (especially on a large ridge or clearing like a logging road) Deer have a tendency to group to the first falling acorn trees in the woods. This is a great source of food for them considering that they have been eating the first perinials related to lillies, crocuses,and even hostas since the snow melted. So these delicious acorns are a absolute delight for them to find. As far as baiting them goes, I would just hang my stand within my desired shooting range from the dropping tree.....if the tree is dropping them...you will not be baiting...good luck hunting...hope you get some
