The Cheapest Deer Food Plot-Acorns

Nowadays everyone is so interested in building and developing their own food plot to funnel deer unto an area that they desire. The name of the site is Cheap Deer Food Plots, so I am all ways looking for ways that hunters can achieve their goals as inexpensively as possible. I was doing a piece on the importance of scouting for deer signs when I stumbled upon a video that reminded me of a very important aspect to whitetail behavior. Whitetails love acorns! So, in my mind, if you can find a natural honey hole of acorns near to where deer live, you have just found the cheapest deer food plot their is. As long as you own the land or have permission to hunt it, it doesn’t cost you a dime to maintain. I am from the Northeastern part of the US and we have all known about acorns, since the beginning of deer hunting in this region. This is especially true if you can find a nice group of White Oaks which the deer seem to prefer. Whitetails will walk right past corn, alfalfa, legumes, you name it, to get to acorns. The primary idea here is that instead of building it and they will come, go to where god has all ready built it and wait for them to show up.

The guy in the video is incredible. Not that he is that unique, there are tons of guys just like him spread out across this land however, you never seem to see guys like this on TV. He is the real McCoy and with his passion and energy for scouting, one can tell that he has harvested many deer and he knows what he is talking about.  And he has done it the real way, not on a deer farm or ranch where a monkey could do it. Just remember the key to this video, to me, is if you can find a natural food source along with any deer signs what so ever, you have got yourself the cheapest deer food plot.
