Gmatt, I think you right, when I go to the mts of Va which is really not far from you, those deer will walk through the alfalfa field and corn field to eat the oaks on the ridge that I hunt, in the summer and in sept, they are all over those fields, but as soon as the acorns fall they seem to abandon the field. It really is obvious how much they love acorns.
I hunt the mountains of Virginia as well, and as I said in an earlier post, the deer will abandon their previous food source. Our property has four food plots and the as soon as the acorn start falling its a rarity to see deer in those plots during the day.
