[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5739930, member: 20583"] They're still eating acorns. I've sat about 10 times since opener and have seen deer on acorns every sit, and already filled a buck tag on an old buck as he actively feeding on white oaks. But they don't feed but for 15min or so and then straight out to the hay field they go. But they don't stay out there. They green up for a few minutes then lay down to chew cud, and right back in to the acorns again. From what I can figure, they're likely not eating at remote oaks but rather the ones nearest wet greens. Takes a lot of fluids and fiber to digest a belly full of acorns. Most years it's all right there readily available. This year not so much. [/QUOTE]
