Find what they are eating.

I notice that the deer seem to move earlier in the evening as the cold and snow come. I have a backyard feederand I notice a lot of activity before snow storms.

If you found a place where there were lots of red oak acorns, this would be a place to check out. Deer prefer the sweeter white oaks which get eaten up quickly. I've noticed that deer don't really go after red oaks until about now. This has been my experience.
