Acorns are HOT
Just went out to do some last minute cutting of sme shooting lanes. Should have done it sooner since the Illinois opener is only 2 1/2 weeks away. The areas in the oaks were just destroyed with deer activity with a lot of acorns beginning to fall. Just a reminder, don' t forget the oaks. Everybody always remembers the fields of beans and corn. All you old timers already know this but thought I would mention for some of the new bowhunters. Also saw two nice velvet rubs that got me going.
Best of luck to all this year.

RE: Acorns are HOT
Our acorns aren' t falling yet....
There seemed to be a lot of activity underneath a tree where a lot of wild cherries had fallen.
Took a drive to Elk Co., PA the other day (beautiful country!) and we returned as it was getting dark. A lot of the deer we seen were in the middle of fields and there were groups underneath apple trees. One apple tree had about 10 deer underneath. We have a few apple trees on our property and there is a lot of activity underneath. Depending on the wind on opening day I will be watching the apple trees or else the wild cherry trees.....unless some acorns start falling.

RE: Acorns are HOT
I haven' t seen an acorn around here this year....last year wasn' t too hot either. The cherries are starting to fall and they are getting a lot of deer around them. The only problem is that there are so many cherry trees arounf here.

RE: Acorns are HOT
One of my favorite stands is in a huge white oak--one of the few in the area--and it sits right on the edge of a field full of soybeans. If this stinkin' rain lets up a little, I' d like to give it a shot tonight.
