    Tons of acorns in nw pa. I like it better with very little feed. Less feed makes the deer move more. Plus the deer are competing with each other for who eats what little they have. It also confines the buck to the food source while looking for does. Here things really slowed because the bucks found does and the does dont have to travel for food. Im having a hard time finding the does because they are all spread out and not all feeding at the same spot. I hope this gives you an idea how you can use no acorns to your advantage.

    So jealous! Here's my view today. 30' up in bucket truck overlooking beautiful Chicago. Maybe I'll catch a crackhead heading back to his bedding area

    Got some damn good mri coming out. Quarter mile off road and no entrances nearby. Old one half acre overgrown homestead thicket. Peppered with big rubs all around it. I spent minimal time around it and found a great corner edge ambush spot.

    Don't know whether to hit it tomorrow or let it cool off one day. The sign is hot
