could have...
We had a very wet spring & summer this year... almost too much food available. hard to pattern deer.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Out of habit....will the deer still come to the oaks looking for acorns ?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

They will browse through the oaks on their way to their other foods. But if there arn't enough acorns then they wont really hang around at all just walking through.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I actually put a food plot right in the middle of my acorn patch. Not a big one but big enough to hold afew of deer. They have to go through mine no matter what cause its basically a funnel between bedding and staging areas with a creek bordering it.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Without any crops around (just hay fields), I assume they just browse around the woods. I live and hunt among the some hardwoods....oaks,maple,hickory,ash,buckeyes. I am trying the foodplot thing this year. Just two small 1000sq ft ones. One in the woods and one along the clearing for the power lines. I went with full draw and some mix with turnips in it. Hopeing for some rain (we're about 2.5 to 3 inches behind this month:() to get them started.

I always did love goin out to KY. beautiful land.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Still no word on SDarcher? has he even logged on lately?

I hear nothing but good things about KY... A hidden treasure!
Nothing like hunting good 'Ol Massachusetts! Very slow hunting around here, unless you find one of those rare honey holes.
Considering the area of Mass I am in and the type of land I hunt, some small private areas abutting state land and state land, we do pretty good for ourselves.
I would like to get out to the midwest for a couple of weeks sometime over the next couple of years... Maybe Ohio, etc...

Any deer w/ the bow in this area is a trophy, believe it or not...

I saw a grand total of 2 bucks here in MA last season... shot them both... 2 doe as well... she them both too.
