Do you have beans or other agriculture they may be headed too? Also maybe they knew where the white oaks were and yours were red or pin? It definitely is a big year for acorns here. sometimes that's not the easiest hunting, cause they can get them anywhere.

Today should be the last of the high heat for me. I'll be out for does wed-friday and our main season starts Saturday. We'll see how it goes, I'm not really sure what I want to do on saturday as far as where to go.
