Question
this weekend I am going to hunt on my family farm, but I haven’t been there to scout at all this season. should I hunt over acorns, or over a food plot that was planted late this summer?

Blake,

I’m glad you will be hunting this coming weekend!  

Without site-specific information there’s no way to know which food source to hunt.  An important consideration is which food source the deer associate with danger.  Deer tend to use the best food source in their range that they don’t associate with danger.  I consider recent hunting pressure an important consideration in stand selection.

Enjoy creation,
