Looking for a little long range scouting help.

Thanks...

Just what I was hoping to hear.

Down here where I hunted tonight in SC. I had to watch my step. It was like walking on marbles! Once I got up, it sounded like it was hailing until the wind laid down. More white oaks than I've ever seen in the section I hunted tonight.
