I’ve had good success with vines for several years. I recently added a couple hemlock branches to the vine and deer traffic seems to have picked up even more. Have you ever tried this?

Find some oaks and hunt it

Most of the bucks I shit were between 10 and 2 during the rut.

I do this in my basement. Amazing way to keep your shot process through the year on those cold iowa nights when you don’t wanna go outside to shoot at a target.

Jeff you're getting me pumped

Why would you want your scent blowing into the open field during a morning hunt? Isn’t that where most of those deer are going to be coming from? I’m only asking because that’s something I’m struggling a quite a bit with right now.

Thank you, is there any one that you know that would be in Arkansas that could help me a beginner to create a hunting parcel and doesn't charge a arm and a leg? Thank you once again..

Your a private property shitty hunter. All you do is talk gibberish on every one of these videos. Riding around on your ATV sitting in a box blind is not hunting 😂

Acorns are everywhere where I hunt. I couldn’t narrow it down.

Imissed what kind of spray do you use for the scrape?????? Thanks.

They can be productive sure. But down here in oklahoma its like 80 percent of trees produce acorns. Narrowing it down to ACTIVE acorn flats is the key in the south If you just sit unfer any ol acorn flat youll be dissapointed 9 times out of 10

👍🏻

I love these videos. Was out scouting with the dog today.

Unfortunately this year will be hard very hard hunting. In one area here EHD has killed over 400 deer. Watching people discover why the target buck wasn't showing up and then find it in a creek bed is devastating.

Opening day in WV is Saturday and you can sit on my porch and here the acorns dropping line bowling balls

Is that a scrape tree you put in in the background?

The common belief down south is that the acorns are EVERYTHING. People here believe that deer only eat acorns from Sept-Dec. I collected 200 pounds of white oak acorns last season and tested them as bait and I found that the acorns, themselves, are not very desireable compared to other common baits such as corn or rice bran. Acorns in remote places in travel/transition areas with cover between bedding and green food can be very good, but a pile of acorns dumped unstrategically turned into a pile of little trees.

I feel like the deer here in Georgia walk right over all the red oak acorns we have for things like greenbriar which seem to be green year round. I’ve scoured several red oak thick areas with some trees dropping and find little to no sign

Gotta find some hunting buddies though. Feel like there would be noting better than cpl good friends and bucks

I can’t wait til oct 7. Opening day here in Massachusetts

I'm on 30 acres and have a sow and 2 cubs hanging around my food plot for the last few months.Rubbing on my apple tree in the middle. Not one deer on camera since they're arrival. I'm not sure what to do.

It took a year to get rid of the cancer it’s gone for now anyway. Surgery and treatments have got it so far but I expect it back the surgeon told me within 4-5 years it will probably be back. Oh well that’s 4-5 years of hunting I can do LORD willing Amen 🙏.

Thanks Jeff

The hurricane is going to hit Saturday in Tn so I may have to wait

I love hunting white oaks season opens here Saturday morning I’m going to 143 acres I’ve got permission to hunt by myself. One ridge of white oaks I’m hitting opening morning. The oaks in my front yard are loaded with acorns this year.

Hey buddy I’ve not been watching much of anything lately been dealing with cancer and ain’t felt like watching nothing.

Pa opener October 5, can't wait

Glad to see you back for another hunting season, hope all is well,since late August here in n.e. Pa the acorns have been dropping and since late August I've been finding quite a bit of scrape activity under and around the oaks.a little bit early for this amount of scrape activity which I hope bodes well for the upcoming season.always a pleasure listening to your videos.

When I was 12-17 we lived on the edge of a 30 acre woods. When we raked leaves in our yard under every pile of leaves was a pile of acorns. The deer didn’t ever come into the yard to eat them until the first snow every year and then they’d absolutely hammer them. I’m wondering if this is common in an open woods setting as well.

Just had a target buck from last 2 seasons show up after dark and spend 10 mins eating acorns. Doe and fawn are there every morning and evening right now..

Here in the armpit of south west pa the canker worms ate every leaf off are oaks and almost all the trees on the mtn this was second year in a row its really starting to get alot of thick under brush now all over the big open woods crazy how nobody talks about the intire mtn being changed by a worm you cant beleive it till you see it fayette somerset and westmoreland counties definitely changed so much

So where can I buy this "Zero Scent" he speaks of?

The acorn crop this year in Arkansa is phenomenal!!!

You didn't mention persimmons and pawpaw. How do you feel about them as a supplement. Right now my property has persimmons dropping like crazy.

I’ve tried these is Georgia with both natural vines and hemp ropes. The deer won’t touch them. I also have a friend that has tried the same here in GA with the same results. Any idea why?

Deer on my sw Michigan love acorns… out there saw 7 doe and 1 buck at 3pm - can’t wait until next week

This is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen, how to hunt acorns? Standing over a pile of corn ..... this show is so stupid... anyone could get a deer BIG MATURE BUCK putting CORN ON A TRAIL.... REAL PROFESSIONAL..

When I was a kid and still used a bait pile I bought a bag of acorns and made the mistake of dumping the whole bag at one time. Felt like I was there all night cause a huge doe group came in and would not stop feeding 😂 . Now one of my best plots is surrounded by oaks, best of both worlds 😊

Love this video. I have a stand in some white oaks and apple trees at the edge of the road, agg on the other side of the road. I will try going in 11am to 230pm. Thanks

Red oaks are dropping now. Not one white oak with acorns

If you spray glyphosate with surfactant will it stick to seed and prevent germination? This would be after seeding into buckwheat.

SE Missouri here. My acerage is 85% white oaks. Deer will leave my food plots alone to grow during good white oak years. We have an awesome crop this year. You won't see a mature deer on a food plot in daylight. The trick is finding the best acorns when you have so many. That is really tough.

But unfortunately I have 3 coyotes hanging out on my small property right now. I'm hoping they move along soon.

I'm so ready can't wait till Saturday

So I'm located in Maine (most whitetail hunting information online is almost completely unrelatable, so i love when you talk about your days in the UP haha), white oaks are few and far in between but I have an abundance of Red oaks. Last year was a AMAZING year for acorns and beech nuts. This year there are almost no nuts on any trees. This is my second year owning a hunting property and my first year planting food plots, i noticed early on acorns were not going to be plentiful this season so i opted on going for volume in my plots (mostly winter rye). Should i be taking it easy early in the season and tailor my hunts around my food plots when the available browse has diminished?

Jeff my man! Gonna shoot a monster this year! Cant shoot a buck from the couch!

On the public I hunt it's one long road that's wetlands most of the way through. The oaks are anywhere there's elevation there's corn across the street that the amish grow. Around the corner on private there's a bunch of food plots plenty of food to go around just have to make sense of it all

Last fall was an incredible crop of acorns here in WV. This spring, the gypsy moth caterpillars destroyed almost all of the oak foliage and flowers. Acorns are few and far between this fall.

Asking for a for a friend? What shoes are you wearing?🙃🤣
