I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's the puzzle I can't piece the puzzle together. I don't think I understand enough about their behavior to understand why they do what they do.

My buddy shot a doe Saturday morning and said he saw over 20 different deer in that spot that morning. We discussed it for hours.....and just don't know why there were so many deer there. Yes, they were eating white oaks, but they are doing that everywhere there. There had to be something else that appealed to them there, but I have no idea what.

I think if I can start putting the puzzle together I may start to figure this out. I appreciate all your help, everyone's......This really is a great discussion. Keep at it.
