[QUOTE="huntemup, post: 2908883, member: 35085"] Well as I said, the high concentration of oaks has never been a problem for me. Even when there are acorns on every inch of ground across 200 acres, deer still have their favorite spots and most will at least up to the rut maintain some degree of routine. The spot I'm posting pics of looks no different than any other spot you could find in the surrounding 100 acres. There are no accessible crops within 20 miles. These deer live 99% of their life in these woods. There is the occasional clearing of 1/4 of an acre but it's mostly just getting back into the woods and figuring out bedding locations and well used travel corridors. That said, the forest floor of the woods I hunt in NC is not the unpassable brushy mess you describe and that could indeeef make a huge difference to your approach. But even then, I would think the trails are that much easier to hunt since deer are gonna take that path of least resistance rather than walking through shoulder high briars and brush. But I will defer to you since you're actually the one hunting it. Something else yall could try is broadcasting corn amongst the acorns. I've had success in the past getting deer to stay longer in areas where both corn and acorns can be had by browsing the same patch of ground - also, your corn will last a lot longer and your deer have to work/concentrate more on get it when it's not conveniently sitting underneath a cleared piece of ground underneath a feeder. My brother hunted the stand near the camera location yesterday and had 9 different bucks come in on him. These are the pics from the day before... all but one nontypical with a funky drop time have shed their velvet. One thing sadly missing from the deer on this piece of property, is brow tine genetics.
