They are slow where I hunt in Caldwell county too<I found a few red oak acorns but no white oak or beech nuts yet.Hunted over the red oaks 3 full days haven' t seen a deer yet,Monday week is muzzleloading season there hope it cools off a lot before then maybe they will move more.
Don' t know what they are eating,put out some corn up there too but the deer haven' t touched it yet either.Seen about 50 turkeys one evening out from my stand but they haven' t been in the corn either.
My brother saw a nice sized bear in his stand on the ridge above me,but I guess he was just passing through,he didn' t come into the corn either.
It funny because when there is acorns they leave the corn just before bow season starts but I haven' t found very many acorns yet.so I don' t know what they are feeding on.
Bow NC,I got drawed for the second gun hunt on the PD maybe they will be moving then.Thought I was going to go down and bow hunt some but spending time in Caldwell,its a little cooler up that way.
