Hunting spots!

Fox:
Thanks for the comments guys!.... I am not sure how to find food sources though, I know where most bedding areas are though. Food sources are difficult though, cause theres white Oakes all over the forest, and greenbrier, and lots of other small green shrubs and stuff, really everywhere. thats why I thought they would like the field cause its the only one around, but I guess they don't just eat grass? or not the stuff in the field maybe. Is there any other food sources deer really like? how would I know a hot food source? just tons of deer sign?

BowEd:
They know when the weather gets tougher where they get the best food to get their BTU's from.In my area it's oaks,honey locust bean pods,corn,and beans.The acorn crop may have all been ate up already though.White oaks are some of the best.

Allyn T:
Deer are browsers they eat a wide variety of food. In winter they eat a lot of Woody browse such as budding limbs on trees and shrubs. If I was you I'd walk around either area and if you bump deer then you know where they are. Remember too just because you see a heavy trail doesn't mean they use it during the day, especially in an exposed area like a field.

Fox:
That's what I've been thinking about the spot I've been hunting early season this year. There is soooo much fresh deer sign every time I am there but I never see anything. its close to a trail and theres people around during the day, so that could be the reason, they are only moving at night. Maybe ill do some walking around new spot and see what I spook up
