Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting This year's acorn crop?

Trees are loaded in va.

None on the Red Oaks, White Oaks or Live Oaks at my place.

Up there in the redneck part of Louisiana.

It's like this all over the place in our white oak grove;

Still haven’t started dropping here yet. When they do start dropping they make a heckuva racket hitting the cars and the bed of my pickup.

This was the year for a bumper crop up here in the Midwest. Seven white oaks in my yard filled my 5x8’ utility trailer 10” high twice and I’m not done with them yet. I wish there was a market for these things instead of the local landfill.

Great pics J, Our crop looks really good and it definitely makes for tougher hunting. The deer run around all night like vacuum cleaners sucking up acorns.

It's been a very dry year especially during the the summer, I'm headed tomorrow to glass some trees, and set out a few blinds...

Just got back from placing a stand on my WMA. White oak acorns are conspicuous by their absence. In a good year like last, walking up the trail is hazardous, like walking on marbles. Did see some red oak. No bino so I couldn’t check aloft. No deer or bear poop to be seen either. Stayed away from some areas that were good last year as I want to hunt those soon.

Yesterday I heard the first white oak acorns hitting my truck. Bow season started today.

Acorns are falling by the wheelbarrow full here. I have one large oak that is difficult to walk past right now. A bunch of birds have been up in it and knocking a bunch out and it's like trying to walk on marbles.

What kind of oak and what area / zone are you in?
