Pulled 4 cams over the weekend that had been out 4 weeks. Only had about 12 pics overall of 3, possibly 5 does. I think the food plots my neighbor has planted are working for him.

I think the mild winter has produced a surplus of deer food in many areas --- this may be more the reason than your neighbor's food plots.
Of course this mild winter may have also caused your neighbors food plots to have more forage now and over the past few weeks than would have normally been expected.
Last week I was mowing in several areas, some of which had been clear-cut in past year, some within past 2 or 3 years, and the amount of food available to a deer was truly astonishing for this time of year. Deer in these areas had no need to leave their bedding areas to find food.

Man I'm with ya MUP - I can't get a deer on cam right now to save my life - winter food plots pulling real well on the neighbors place - but something is eating allot of corn - that I can't get on cam either - so I lowered it almost to the ground to see what it is

I would love to have a few less acorns where I hunt. I bust my tail to making food plots that go untouched due to the annual acorn crop

I'd be willing to bet the plots aren't going untouched. Set up a few small fenced in areas just a couple feet in diameter with chicken wire. Fix it where the deer can't move the wire, then you will see what they are really eating.
