the area where i hunt i am not lucky enough to have a corn field or any food plots... ihunt northern wisconsin where all there are is hardwoods and swamp... the area i hunt is mainly swamp with a little hardwoods here and there...there are not any huge deer trails or anything..they are hard to pattern...most of the time they dont even follow trails...acorns are around but not in huge numbers they mainly just wonder around eating grass or whatever they can find...how would you guys approach these deer...

Sooner or later they will find the acorns.
I would set up in the hardwoods.

RAPTORMAN- HERES MY SUGGESTIONS. I BELEIVE YOU MUST ESTABLISH A FEEDING PLOT OR SOME AREA FOR THEM TO COME TO. I BELEIVE IN FAIR CHASE, SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO BAIT MAKE SURE YOU STAY WITHIN THE COUNTYS GUIDELINES. I THINK A CORN PILE THAT IS TENDED TO REGULARLY WOULD BE A GREAT ASSET,

SECONDLY I THINK THAT A MOCK SCRAPE STRING WOULD HELP YOU TREMENDOUSLY. I HUNT IN THE SAME SITUATION AS YOU. I HAVE A STRING OF 8 MOCK SCRAPES THAT TRAVEL FROM THE SOUTH OF ONE TREESTAND TO THE NORTH OF THE SECOND STAND. THIS HAS PATTERENED MANY BUCKS FOR ME ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A MATURE BUCK THAT THINKS A YOUNGER BUCK IS IN THE AREA. IF YOU START YOUR SCRAPES EARLY ENOUGH I THINK THIS WOULD HELP YOU GREATLY.

HUNT ON HUNT HARD EAT WELL
