We know that deer will dine in apple orchards, corn fields and in green fields of alfalfa, but you would be wise to learn how to identify oak trees, because they are a huge food source for whitetails and other wildlife. Click here to get a ton of great info on identifying - and hunting over - this powerful wildlife food source.

Plus here's a hunting trick the author suggested: "Whenever I hunt over acorns, I always carry a few small rocks in my pocket. When acorns are thick on the ground, deer have little trouble finding them, but it’s rarely that easy. Deer quickly learn to listen for the sound of an acorn hitting the carpet of leaves below. When they hear the “plop” of an acorn, they wander over to find it. I’ve seen young deer race each other to the site of a falling acorn. A stone sounds just like an acorn when it falls to the leaves."
