Regional notes

Preliminary reports suggest a strong mast year across the Ozarks; Delta variable.

Hunter implication

Mast is plentiful enough to pull deer off plots and ag fields. Find the productive oaks and set up tight; expect deer to be less predictable on traditional stand sites built for travel routes.

How to hunt a good mast year in Arkansas

Locate specific white oak flats with active drop, hunt tight to the trees, and expect deer to be less predictable on traditional travel-corridor stand sites. With food everywhere, generic stand placement loses to oak-specific scouting.
