Deer hunting & pecans

Shelled pecans are 5-10 bucks a lb

Id buy them unshelled from u

Deer cross the road where I hunt and eat pecans in my uncles yard. Last year on Christmas eve he looked out his kitchen window while cooking and there was a 10 pt eating pecans. This is St mary parish not some area where this would be common at all.

Yes. I'm have a couple stand on pecans trees in our orchards. They love them. Usually wait until later in the season after all the acorns are rotten

And of course I'm not hunting over them I'm going to hunt out of sight of them here in MS

Mmmhmm...sure.

Deer tear up the pecans on our property in MS.

used to hunt along the river where there were wild pecan trees. If you found some, you better have a stand there.

That's the real answer... they will get in your yard and eat the ones people grow too, but wild pecan is pretty common in a few areas of the state. Deer love them.

This. They seem to especially love the small native ones as has been mentioned.

Giles is loaded with them.

Yes it is. Sat in a box on the levee Saturday afternoon snacking on them. Little small ones were tasty and kept me busy for a few hours.

Your post reminds me of a muzzleloader hunt I made on private land in the middle of Tensas NWR about 20 years ago.
I was hunting slowly into the wind up a woods road and heard this LOUD "crunchcrunchcrunch". There was a curve ahead in the road and I could see the top of a towering pecan tree. I eased slowly to where I could see around the curve and there were 2 GROWN (GROWN = HUGE) does eating pecans. It sounds unbelievable, but I guarantee they were at least 50 yards away and I could hear them.
I was buck hunting so passed them up. Could have shot either of them.
