[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5260382, member: 2805"] If you didn't pressure the deer for the past 3 weeks, and aren't seeing anything now, then you don't have the food. Most acorns are gone, deer have shifted back to browse, crop residue, and plots. That's where the does are, and that's where the bucks are looking for does (and getting a well earned snack in the process). Food plots do more for late season hunting than any other time of the year.... or heck, you don't even have to plant a food plot, just manage native browse. We saw a pile of deer this morning over a 100 ac valley of coralberry, catbrier, and other browse that was bushhogged back in late Aug and had plenty of new growth before winter to keep feeding the deer. The top of the valley is 300ft above the floor of the valley, so thermal temp differences kept the upper third from being severely frostburnt so far this season. [/QUOTE]
