Im telling you, it looks like another sad year around here for mast in the woods this year. This will be the second year in a row that there doesnt seem to be anything as far as acorns in the woods around here. Ive been to lots of areas scouting and weve got a bumper crop of hickory nuts but thats about all. Someone even told me that they think alot of squirrels even died off from last year due to lack of mast. I know last year I had to hunt the edges of the fields cause thats where the deer were coming to feed since the woods were so bare and I guess that gonna be the same MO for this year.
We had a good snow storm here last year and afterwards I went in the back of the house and found a dead doe laying in the field - no marks,bullet holes or anything - guess she just made it to the field and thats all the further to try and get a meal. I live in Greenbrier county
