Deer love 'em acorns, that's a genuine fact. You can bet, if there is a producing tree around, the deer will for sure be there. I do all the deer management on our plantation down here in Louisiana, and I hunt it really hardall during deer seasons . I work the deer plots all year for the deer.And I will say, upon many of my bigger bucks are taken around the oaks in the swamps. Now, you might want to think on this. Plant you some brassicas,~~~ Rape, Turnips, or Mustard Greens. I perfer Rape. You can getthe seedfrom your local farmers co-op. Go ahead and purchase the 50lb bags, you get a better deal like that. You don't have to buy all that name brand, special deer, most inspensive stuff they brag about all the time. The seed I buy at the co-ops, and I have better luck with the final product, and germinates better, and saves all kinda money ....
Don't bury you rape, just throw it out, and run a drag over it., all you need is soil to seed contact. After about two -three weeks, on a dry day, put yourself out about 25-30 lbs of 34-0-0 fertilizer per 1/4 acre. That will make your Rape & Greens blow to the moon. After the first frost, the starches in the plants turn to sugar, and the deer will tear it up.You may use a stand, but a ground blind will do perfect !!Set you out a ground blind now, let it sit where the deer will get used to it and will pay no attention to it. Place it where the wind will be in your advatage in case the wind changes. If you have a big buck in that area, you will have a shot on him in that Rape. He will come when the plants turn to sugar.
I also treat my deer, when I first get on the stand during bow season, with Frito-Lay Corn chips, I spead 'em out about where I want the deer to stand, the deer love 'em, and I love the shots ~~~~~ hope this helps !!!
