Acorns??

[predator1]

Anyone seeing many acorns this year?

 

[Feedman]

I haven't looked for acorns. Saw lots of hickory nuts an walnuts

 

[LoneArrow]

I had plans to check out some acorn trees in my neck of the woods today but cant. Seems like the walnut trees in my back yard are a little slim this year.

only acorns I've seen are premature ones blown out by the winds.

Wasn't very many yesterday where I was squirrel hunting. Usually varies from area to area though.

I've been seeing a ton on black oaks. I haven't looked on white oaks yet but I would guess they are loaded as well. Hickory nuts are abundant too. Looks like bumper crop in my area at least.

I've seen a few red oak acorns on the ground while checking cams. Not seeing many white oaks with nuts where I've been. Got a few white oak groves to check out on the ridge tops in the next few days. Think maybe the mosquitos ate all the white oak acorns in the btms! Lol..

I've been checking in my area and whiteoaks seem to be slimto none, did talk to one person that found a tree that was loaded. There seems to be more red oak acorns. If this is the case and you can find that white oak that is loaded should be a good season if the squirrels don't eat them before they hit the ground. Might be a good year for corn pile hunters especially next to Mamouth Cave Park but usually I have better luck with good acorn crops.

That's what I'm hoping. No white oaks. Help drag the deer out of the park.

Both farms I hunt, one in Edmonson, the other in Hart border the park. The acorn crop directly affects how many deer I see

I walked along my road with binos last week. There is a nice mix of several species. Roughly 1 in 3 whites had acorns. Roughly 1 in 5 non whites had acorns. Not as good as zero but sure as hell better than last year.

 

[xbokilla]

Small/premature ones where I hunt and not as many as last two years. Tons of pignut and hickory.

That's what I'm seeing here. Last year the acorns were so plentiful it was like a skating rink in my yard. Sounded like a hailstorm in the woods when they started falling.

It directly affects everyone that hunts near the park.
