You are right about that. My hunting lease and other main hunting property has been some tough hunting this year. There are mature oak bottoms, a mix of mature oak and loblolly pine ridges and 8 to 9 year old cutovers with 10 to 15 foot loblolly pine. Lots of cover and browse in the cutovers and you can see where they are traveling in and out of them. Problem is they seem to be only coming out of the cutovers at night and then they head back in at first light.
