    Yeah there are acorns all around here. And there is a lot of evidence that they've been through here quite a bit a bunch of small kick up marks digging for acorns

    Not too much covered though. A little open, which has me a little worried that they hit this at night

    Idk man. Try setting up downwind of the thickest closest cover approaching that opening on the acorns. Used to work for me. Catch em coming out at last light. Just a thought tho.

    I think I'd move to a low area or a habitat edge if it was me. Some where that doesn't get a lot of pressure because it's overlooked if there is a place like that there

    image.jpg I'm back in. Went up on the ridge this afternoon. Checked my camera down low this morning after getting out of the stand. Had two small bucks in the food plot 20 min before I got there. Tonight's local.

    Hot and windy but fresh tracks at my middle stand over standing corn. I think the sweat is down to a trickle. Hope something shows cuz the freezer has lots of room.

    I absolutely LOVE this forest I hunt. BUT I can't take to much more of this. I'm a dedicated hunter, but this is stupid.
