Regional notes

Part of the widespread 2023 Southeast white oak failure. Deer concentrated heavily on agricultural fields and food plots.

Hunter implication

Concentrate on remaining food sources. Food plots, ag fields, persimmons, and isolated mast pockets become high-traffic stand sites. Expect competition from other hunters who notice the same thing.
