Mountain hunters north of the Tennessee River: what are your observations on food sources this year? In November I heard a swirl of talk saying there aren't any acorns in the mountains. I didn't believe it, and it's taken me up until January to realize there really wasn't much of an acorn drop worth note at all this year. In eastern Madison county as well, where we had a TON of winter wheat planted last year, there are dormant fields everywhere. That wheat was holding deer on a particular honey hole of mine and where I had some of the best rub-lines, feeding sign, and scrapes I've ever seen, I now have nothing this year. I feel like my honey holes up high are nothing more than vacant pieces of earth.
Have ya'll been seeing more deer down low this year as opposed to mid ways up or higher on the mountain?
