I have to agree with silent.....I see more deer when acorn drops are low and deer have to move to find that food source. When there are a bumper crop, the deer do not have to move far to find food. There is also a direct coorelation between the bear killed in NH and the mast. Low acorns = high bear killed because of the above comments.

Although I was fortunate enough to have a good deer season last year (4 does and a 10 point), I didn't see the vast number of deer that I usually do. I hunt public and private land around West Point Lake in west Georgia.

I correlate the lack of numbers with the lack of acorns. Last year had to have been the worst acorn crop I can ever remember. With the exception of a few water oaks, there weren't any acorns on the properties I hunt. I was just wondering what the acorn forcast looks like this year. i.e. Will I be able to return to my favorite White Oak stands that I was forced to abandon last year?
