[QUOTE="Huntaholic, post: 3772257, member: 605"] LOL Those of us who have been around here long hear this same question every year. Some folks in some parts of the state say they dont touch em, some of us in other parts of the state say they love em. I will say this: Ive killed more deer eating chestnut oak acorns than I have white oaks! Im NOT saying the deer prefer them over whites though. The chestnuts fall first, and I tend to hunt feed sign harder during bow season than any other time. I also hunt harder in general with a bow. Now as to the possible reasons some chestnuts are preferred over others: Ive noticed through the years that typically chestnuts grow on the highest driest ridges and generally on south facing exposures. THOSE ARE THE ONES THEY DONT LIKE! Find some thats growing on a north facing ridge or slope. THOSE ARE THE ONES THEY LOVE! [/QUOTE]
