Moved to the acorns
 

well after only seeing one doe the other night on that spot i was telling you guys about, i noticed nothing was really moving on the deer trails over there no fresh tracks nothing. Saw one doe the other night and nothing else to im trying my second spot tommorow alot of deer runs and sighn and tons of acorns you get starteled by hearing them fall so what im thinking there paterns have changed and now im smack dap in the middle of there food source

if you have white oak acorns dropping you can bet that's where the deer will be. They love them and they are full of fats necessary to get them thru the rut and winter.

Agreed......
 

mine are now starting to move off the browse, and into acorns and other assorted nuts. Corn is always a good bet. I go oak and pine stand, then to 30x100 yard of winter rye, that goes to corn. I sit in the pines for year round cover.

I went for a walk about yesterday to try and find some sign that the deer were in my area and what they were eating. I had cleared a good path through a bunch of Acorn trees a few weeks back so I checked it out. Bingo! It looked like a deer dump station,piles were everywhere on this path and you could see the evidence of their presence on the path. They never have made it to the corn we put out 3 weeks ago because they have acorns every where in the woods. One thing I have put out that does not last long is apples from my neighbors tree which she lets rot on the ground. I've been picking them up and humping them into my spots,they don't rot there they get eaten in no time.
