[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 391693, member: 1409"] I actually have some places to hunt in Stewart County from north to south, east to west, but have been concentrating looking for EHD and oak mast on about 10 sqare miles just south of Dover and just west (or south) of the Cumberland River (some of this is not far from Cross Creeks). Not sure about the red oak mast being better at higher or lower elevations, as I've found some producing trees along the top of the Tennessee Ridge as well as in some creek bottoms with year-round water flowing in the streams (some of these couldn't be more than a foot or two above the water level of the Cumberland River). Although of no benefit to deer, the hickory mast seems concentrated at the lower elevations. I'd speculate the mast production this year is similar on either side of the Cumberland, although you should generally have better soil and larger bucks on the east (or north) side of the river. You probably have a little more row-crop agriculture on your side of the river, too, which will help considerably with the low mast. [/QUOTE]
