    I hunt albemarle, prince william and fauquier. No acorns and almost no deer. None of the property I hunt, has any planted fields on or adjacent to the property. Very frustrated with the season so far.

    I live in Stafford and have acorns in my back year like no tomorrow. I have see limited acorns on base while hunting and have yet to see but three deer during daylight hours. Once the sun goes down they are all out at the road chowing down.

    The talk around my way is the cicadas messed with the trees this year. Off to a really slow start to the season. Hopefully the cold coming this week will get the deer on their feet and moving. Seems to be a lot of bear running around this year. May have something to do with the lack of acorns so they are out searching for food.

    I'm getting to this thread late season. The acorns in Fairfax county are not what they usually are. Any luck with your bows this time of year? Methods? please share. All the Best-J

    I hunt Prince William and Loundon this time of year for the antler less only season. Are you hunting big property or small, residential?
