The same thing happened around me with all this wind it nocked down alot of acorns the dont have to move much to find food the ground is covered

Maybe their Spidy Senses are tingling? They know the 12th is upon them?

If you are checking the camera every two days that may have something to do with it , ..... there are guys in the last week or two really moving around the woods and bait piles every where, ask the corn sellers how much the activity and sales has picked up , alot of guys wait tilll the last minute and then are tromping all around , find the natural food and heavy cover , they are there .

just a thought but i have the luxury of driving around every day,and not kidding around zone 25 and 65 i have seen deer like allday.ive seen bucks now 2 days in a row after12 lunch time.i dont know if it was the pressure dropping from this storm or the fact the acorns r fallen they may b changing there patterns from leaves and such to acorns.but walking through woods yesterday the deer tracks were all in the roads and acorn shells everywhere.(hint...hint)

I think GRTWHT hit it on the head with the acorns dropping. I see less and less deer in beans every night.

im hunting all around acorns and there is nobody tromping around it is highly watched by me and my neighbors it just stopped completly and now considering moving down in the swamp but really dont feel like tromping thru 3 foot of water after all this rain

Yeah a good amount of mast crop falling now because of weather. Not to mention the cold front and temp drop. They could be changing their patterns now to the mast crop that is available. Another note. trail cams to the scouting for you so you don't have to sit there and look for them. I check my camera's every week if that. Minimize your scent in your area.

not trying to b a know it all but when you get such mass the deer do not have to travel to a food source far from beds,they have no reason to leave a small area to look either.less energy to find food means more fat to put on for winter with less energy.lol.i also read they will go to tree with the freshest dropping acorns that might b rite nearby there beds,maybe even chestnut first.when we get mass here i just keep looking around to find the sweet spot .it only last a couple days then they move.if you walk some trails youll see the tracks every where around one tree.they seem to like the trails and roads because they can find them easier.JUST MY 2 CENTS...:DTHIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I DONT LIKE TO BAIT IN EARLY SEASON.THEY WILL PASS ON EVERTHING FOR THE ACORNS
