That's a huge problem we have to retaining youth for the future of hunting IMO. The kids don't seem to develop the same passion when their parents plow the road for them.

I haven't found any white oak (quercus alba) to have any acorns this year on my place, either.

350 for 3 hours on the pit boss. Put some oil on it with garlic/onion powder and salt/pepper. It was fantastic with a good crunch on the outside without being dried out. This was the thick “loin” portion off the side of a flat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are some cheap plots to create. The field was worked about a month ago and left as is. There is a lot of pigweed and purslane coming up. The deer like it as much as the beanfield on the other side of the camera. Granted the contrast between both field will be different in December, but...

That's the difference in being proactive as opposed to reactive. Think years down the road and not take the bait dangling right in front of you.

If the top deer is older, I'd shoot that one over the other buck. I had the exact same scenario play out in 2004. The younger buck was a 160's class 10 with the buck in my avatar at 35 yards. I never caught up to that other buck, but the next year a couple friends of mine were awestruck by...

It's the only time I've seen a NR with huge acorns myself outside their norm.
