Default RE: Highland County, Virginia

i've been hunting highland for 25yrs from one end to the other. the deer population in highland has been down in a lot of area's. this is due to doe tags and the lack of a good acorn crop . this year it seems to spotty ,some places you can't find a acorn,but some are loaded. if you hit area that has none,go as high as you can .highland has some high enough peaks that you can get above the frostline .sometimes thats the only place you find food.there are not many farm crops in most of the county so deer will sometimes leave area's to find food. i'm seeing bucks chaseing does now also.if you let me know what part you are hunting in ,i may be able to help more,we have a camp near Headwaters in highland
