I have seen several doe and fawn groups, two bucks a small 6 and small 8. Seems like they are feeding on acorns pretty good right now.

Struggling a little this season so far. Think there's way to much for them to eat rite now & they aint moving a lot where I'm at.

Does anyone else hear the load booms through out the day and into the night. It sometimes sounds like rifle shots. I was wondering if it was only the marble mines blasting or is it people poaching. What do you guys think?
