I've been seeing a small bachelor group of bucks....coming into a bean field corner every west wind we got.....for several weeks. In the last two weeks.....NO sightings.

Gut tells me their food source has changed, but the beans have never (or COULD never) been more lush.

We have a bumper acorn crop, this year. Could it be as simple as them preferring acorns over something as luscious as perfect beans?

I still see some does in the beans......but even their sightings have dimineished. I'm not "worried". I know they're still around (deer), but being able to pattern them has just become a little more difficult. I can't see them, now.

So the question is.....we hear all the time that the acorn is their preferred food of choice. is the attraction THAT powerful to these delicacies?

Thanks.
