They are eating Acorns at my lease near Brady. I hunted for 5 days last week. Young does and yearlings at the feeders. I glassed several nice bucks and older does eating under the oak trees ..
I`m just not seeing any bucks. Been on this lease for 5 years and always have 4 or 5 decent bucks on camera this time of year. I see 8-10 does every time I go this year. Had 2 does and a spike see me throwing out hand corn yesterday and came running and started eating 60 feet from me, so they are hungry. Hopefully it has to do with the lack of water this summer and our stock tanks went dry.
We haven’t seen much in the way of bucks. Spikes. Spikes. Spikes. Usually we take 1 or 2 good ones in bow season every year. So far nothing.
We have lots of acorns this year, but the deer are still cleaning up the corn, within an hour after the feeder goes off. I watched a doe and fawn eating acorns this morning, that was till a nice buck went after the doe. There was a wall of yaupon between me and them, could not get a shot. So went and got the card out of the camera I knew he would be on, it looks like it was the big 8 that has been showing up this month. Wished I could have stayed in the stand longer. I know they will be hanging around all day.
Does still coming to my road feeder corn when they hear my Canam and road feeder going off. This is in southwest Mills county on the Colorado river. I only feed every other day.
Yep I’ve got a few regular does & 6 point that are faithful. I had 5 shooters but they’re all gone right now. I hand corn & have a trough but I haven’t thrown corn or added any to the trough in about a week. Hopefully the shooters will turn back up.
