Despite gypsy moths we have a good number here in CT

Went for a scouting walk yesterday on gamelands. No Sunday hunting here on GL. I got within 30 yards of a doe due to her noise from her eating and browsing and the falling of acorns popping the ground. I timed my steps with the acorns hitting the forest floor. Our oaks here are loaded and are now dumping their crop.

If the rain holds off, I am headed back there today. So far, it's pouring here off and on.

I couldn't take a step in the woods yesterday without one almost hitting me on the head. I was squirrel hunting yesterday in Brown County Indiana and white acorns and deer scat was everywhere but as said before no hickory nuts.

very scarce here in NE Pa.

Red oaks acorns the size of pecans in the shell coming down like a hail storm but nary a white oak, after two years of the white oaks carpeting the ground in some areas.
