Name that nut!

Really enjoying this thread. Here is another one, more specific to the appilacians and north east. They will feed on he fresh fallen leaves and in winter sometimes browse on the small stems and Twiggs.

Striped mapel?

You got it.

Want for sure as we don't have that it this way. Silver maple during least drop can be awesome, especially if the woods aren't filled with them.

I have found the same, the smaller isolated patches.

Wasnt for sure as we don't have that out this way. I remember they had a slang name for it but can't remember it off hand. Silver maple during leaf drop can be awesome, especially if the woods aren't filled with them.

Also called: Moosewood, Goosefoot Maple or Whistlewood.

I hunt in sw pa, maybe I worded that wrong I’m not implying that it’s not true I’m just saying I’ve never took note of it or observed it for myself, basically I had no idea they were interested in silver maple leaves

no worries sometimes they totally ignore food sources it really depends on how many other food sources are out there. In ag areas with plenty of beans and corn and acorns they might totally ignore maple leaves? In other areas where there's very limited browse it could be the hotspot so to say. What I think really happens with food sources is there our Staples that dare use throughout the year and then there are those select items that only come in for a short season and the deer know these and hit them hard when they're available because it's something new and different that they can't get the rest of the year. Locust pods are a classic example the deer around here hit them hard when other brows dries up or dies off. In ag areas where there is plenty of beans later in the year they may not hit them at all.

I dont want to ruin the game, but here's a good fieldguide for oaks on the eastern half of United States.

Funny to mention honey locust. Farm where I learned to hunt has several of them, but tons of other available browse and I always check, but the deer never touch them. Go an hour east into some big woods river bottoms and if you can find a honey locust tree early before acorns drop and persimmons you can wear the deer out on them. But theres just so much browse where I am they never give um a look

Keep in mind there are 2 different types of hickory nuts in WI. Shagbark and BitterNut hickory.
