Phillip, I hunt a small plot of land near a pond in charlotte (30 acres) and its a funnel to the interstate... hunting there this year has been weak, I see the same "resident deer" but no bucks. However halloween and thanksgiving this year out in albermarle/ locust area were intense.. most the people I talk to right now that hunt are saying that deer havent been visiting their food plots.. All of the deer Ive seen have been in hardwood acorn trees mixed red oak and white oaks. Find a thick patch that still has acorns under the leaves and you might see some better deer. Also been hunting near rub lines on cedar trees amist the acorn plots.. good luck
