I have just recently picked up 300 acres to bowhunt along a river bottom. It is mostly bean fields with timber strips splitting the fields and a wider strip of timber down along the river. My main question is I have walked along all the timber and I have not seen one single oak tree. Almost every tree on the property is Hickories. They are loaded with nuts but what I am wondering is do deer really like Hickory nuts? I am not sure what type of Hickory they are. I know they are not shaggybark Hickories. They are either Bitternut, Pignut, or Mockernut Hickories. There is heavy timber a quarter mile to a half mile away that may have oaks I'm not sure but after they are done with the beans I just wonder if they will hang around and eat the Hickories? Also if they eat them do they wait till they are dropping and when would that be?
