Bucks gone nocturnal since 2nd rut peak around 12/8. Have got some glimpses of bucks glassing right after Lst on field edges…
Where are the deer?

I moved back to our farm in NW Dickson county. I haven't seen a deer since thanksgiving either.What area of TN you hunting? We are in Hickman. My cousin is living at our cabin while his house is being built. He's been hunting quite a bit. He hasn't seen a deer since Thanksgiving
Our food plots look great, I guess that's expected when nothing is in them eating.

So what do you think they are doing?
Good luck. We saw every buck in the county except the ones we were looking for
She got it done this morning first time out this year
Awesome. It was a beautiful morning for sure…
Dang that's a bummer! I just brought my neighbor and his wife down to try and get her on her first deer. Got him his first I think 2 years ago but it was cold and had been snowing. We're about 5 miles south off the Bucksnort exit. Sightings have been hit or miss and figuring the warm weather won't help. Fingers crossed it works out.What area of TN you hunting?

Walking in a few minutes ago I reached down and picked up an acorn to see if it was rotted and this little sucker is sprouting to take root. Picked another up and they're not rotten.

We are loaded with them. Thing is I can't even find deer hitting ours.
I swear, white oaks started dropping in August and are still dropping.
There are so many they don't have to move much to eat. Total guessing game on where to set up and hope you get lucky.

This is common for White Oak acorns. If it is a wet fall, they will start going to root in late November. In a dry fall, mid-December. Once they got to root, deer no longer prefer them. That's why Red Oak acorns are so important. They usually do not go to root until spring, hence deer live on them all winter.
Seeing large groups of does now. Single young bucks

In my mind those roots would be nutritious and good eating…but I have never eaten many.
Deader than a hammer this evening on my place. Just a couple of squirrels running back and forth.

By now there are 30% less deer in the woods.
