[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5741047, member: 20583"] In my experience they don't stop eating white oak acorns until they're gone. I've read they lose their taste for them once the nuts begin to sprout and that may be true but some of my favorite post rut spots are shallow drainages under white oaks where the nuts all gather up & then get covered by falling leaves. There won't be any noticeable nuts on the ground but you'll see where deer root around in the leaf litter in those narrow high slope drainages looking for acorns. I've killed some bruisers like that in spots that otherwise wouldn't look like there's any reason for a deer to be there. When you see a grove of white oaks up high on a slope and there's a small drain coming through them, look for any level spots in that drain where nuts can pool up. That'll be the spot. [/QUOTE]
