When I came across this massive excavation site, I thought it was the work of turkeys.
But the tracks around the excavations in the leaves reveal the true culprit.

This has been a remarkable mast year. The acorns that fell in October fell in such plenty that the deer are still eating them into the second half of February.
And the deer are fatter than I’ve ever seen them in winter.
