[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 783479, member: 5412"] first of all let me welcome you to the forum!: I've only been in the SE part of Okla once, and that was this spring on a trip to Broken Bow, so I know the land your talking about. It looks like pretty rough hunting. For me, the first thing I would do is some scouting and look for deer trails, old rubs on trees, and even fresh droppings to see if and where the deer are crossing your property. In my area, salt blocks do not work. Deer cocain and that type of stuff doesn't work, but they might in your area. Depends on what mineral the deer are short on and need. Most of the time salt blocks are used by the deer in the spring for antler development, not in the fall. Small food plots do work. If you can get any ground worked up at all even with a hoe and rake, plant some wheat. Even under trees it will sprout, and grow. Not as fast as in the sunlight, but its something. You might think of thinning out some trees in an area to let more sunlight get to the ground so that the natural forbs and browse that deer love can grow. If you have seen tracks, then set up a corn feeder near one of the trails. Build or buy one of the 55 gallon models, as they don't require reloading but every couple of weeks or so depending on how much you set it to throw. The deer will find it if they are in the area. To start out right now, I'd just take buckets of corn and put piles out where the trails are, and see if you spot tracks. If you have trail camera's, hang a camera on one of the piles and see what comes. Any more questions, fire away. Lots of knowledgeable people on the forum.:D [/QUOTE]
