Information about acorn abundance can help hunters plot hunting strategy.
JEFFERSON CITY–Biologists call it “mast.” Deer call it food. To hunters, it is one key to understanding game animals’ behavior.
What is this stuff? Acorns, mostly. Wildlife biologists refer to fruits produced in forests, woodlands, and other habitat as “mast.” It can be “soft mast,” which includes berries and other highly perishable fruits, or “hard mast,” which is mostly nuts. In Missouri, those nuts are mostly from oaks – acorns.
