Rock - having a degree in forestry I am pretty familiar with oaks. Where I hunt there are white, red, black and chestnut oaks. I know the deer are there. I can see their sign. Plus i have pic of them earlier in the year. I am seen squirrels and tons of turkey. A very large portion of the areas I hunt were selectively clear cut about 25 years ago with the occasional oak left standing and there is a lot of small birch and sassafras, and red maple along with sweet gum and other "trash" trees. Most places you can't see more than 50 yards. I've found a couple spots where several large oaks are located where I can put stands. I know its going to happen. I'm retired so I have lots of time to hunt. I got a buck with my bow every year except last year for the past 7 years. And the only reason I didn't get one last year is because I passed on several legal buck holding out for a 170-180 class 10 point with a couple sticker points.
