We have a ways to go here in NC. There are scrapes and rubs to be found, but no gaggles of bucks doing stupid stuff (which I really enjoy.)<P>Acorn crops are great and does are everywhere, except near my house, alas. Also, I can bowhunt or gunhunt at will, thanks to my strategic location at the border of two management zones.<P>Which may come in handy, because I found a whitetail Golden Corral on an oak ridge just outside one of the buildings I work in. I love city limits bowhunting!! Just have to make sure the big'un does not make it to the nearby major interstate with my carbon hanging out of him. Unlikely, as I envision the arrow passing through him as if he were a vapor, except for the leakage.<P>Good hunting, Jeff
