Title: Acorns anyone?
Post by: bear bowman on August 18, 2015, 08:18:00 AM
I live in south central Pa. I haven't seen much of an acorn crop as of yet. Is anyone else seeing any yet?

Starting to drop here in NW Jersey. Spotty so far, but haven't been out and about for a few weeks. Hopefully it has increased.

Our trad club had a 3D shoot this past weekend. As we walked the wooded course I saw many acorns on the ground. Many are already falling here. No sure why so soon, but nicely formed mature acorns are on the ground in spots.

2nd year in a row in Indiana for a large acorn crop also.  I had a hard time pin pointing deer last year due to such a large crop.  In fact they were so plentiful here the deer never hit te wasted soybeans until February!

You guys are giving me some hope. The trees locally aren't producing well at all but I hunt quite a few different area a few hours away. Hopefully they'll be producing.

The past 2 years here in NE Ohio had been big for acorns, but haven't heard any bouncing off my roof or deck yet now that you guys mention it... Will look this evening, although the squirrels have been cutting on a couple Shagbark hickories in the yard since August 4th, but they are always the first to but cut on... I notice them while mowing the grass. Have over a dozen oak (red and white) and hickories (all three species - Pignut, Shag and Shellbark) in the yard and all the hickories limbs are low heavy hanging with nuts. Also have 2 black walnut trees in the yard and both those loaded now with nuts... My house was cut out and built in the middle of a hardwoods, and unfortunately I spend a lot of vacation time in the fall cleaning up nut hulls when I could be hunting...    :)

Since it's been a couple weeks, just wanted to follow up and although the past couple years have had a bumper crop of acorns from the oaks in my yard, but this year very few acorns produced... This is in NE Ohio...

Its going to be a different this year.  We had a frost that killed the leaves on the oaks this spring at the hunting camp.  When the leaves regrew it doesn't look like the trees are going to produce acorns.  It didn't hit all the areas but you have one section where the oaks have poor leave cover and others where they are more normal.  Of coarse our camp is right in the middle of a poor section.  It looks like even the squirrels have migrated to better pickens.

All of my white oaks are barren this year in SW VA. I kind of expected it though after last year's bumper crop.

Would love to find the only oak dropping, as opposed to finding dozens dropping.
