I checked a new piece of ground this evening. Found very few white oaks that would be of any value. Soft mast is loaded. Didn't find any rubs yet, didn't see a single deer in any of the beanfields. This farm is in hill country, and I expected to see good numbers of deer in the still-green fields. My guess is the deer have found white oaks where I have not. First trip looking on the property though and the "gold mines" take a while to learn. Its a little over 500 acres, so it will take me a spell to look it over properly. Having hunted an adjoining property for the last few years, I've been chomping at the bit to get a look at this ground!
