Mexico!!?? Oh yeh you will be on the sand somewhere thinking about all of us in the tree right?? not!! I know you will have fun down there!!

RE: Acorns....above all?
 

Same thing at my allproperties Jeff. Happens every year once the acorns drop. Sightings go down as soon as the acorns are down. Some years the acorns can drop a few weeks apart. This year they seem to be starting about 2weeks or so earlier than normal which will change my early season hunting tactics some.

Me too, Andy. It alleviates me from having to do so (scouting). If they'r eon acorns....I KNOW where they will be.;)

RE: Acorns....above all?
 

I'm not finding the deer hitting the acorns here yet. I think as long as there are greens to eat,that's what they seem to be going to still. The acorns are coming down in limited numbers, but no deer there.
The deer pellets don't contain acorn remnants. Still green fiberous content.

RE: Acorns....above all?
 

Deer in our country are not going to leave a legume such as soybeans for an acorn this time of year. But all acorns are not created equal as we don't have White acorns whichI understand are a lot more palatable and nutritious than the Live Oak acorns we have.

So obviously some "internet expert" from Texas has no clue what is going on in your backyard.

But having said that, keep in mind that it is possible that the reduced/eliminated sightings of deer on ag crops during DAYLIGHT could also be no more than their reaction to increased human activity in their environmnent as hunting season approaches and more people are invading their range scouting, hanging stands, etc..
