Acorn Report

[KentuckyTJ]

Well how is the crop in your area. I can find none this year on two different farms.

Loaded with reds. They dont eat them much around me til Thanksgiving.

[Easykeeper]

Acorns...what acorns?  The oaks close to me seem like they produced nothing or very few.

Everything is loaded around here. Every time I mow my lawn it sounds like I'm mowing the driveway. White oak, red oak, hickory nuts, and walnuts. Squirrels are fats as pigs. Just wish the better half would let me pluck a few of those fats tree rats around the house.

That is surprising, it rained all summer in Tennessee.There are so many acorns this year that it's going to be difficult to find the deer, they won't be traveling very far.

The trees are loaded on my farm here in WV. Plenty for them to eat.

The burr oaks around here are absolutely loaded.  Some of the immature acorns have been hitting the ground.

[KentuckyTJ]

Wow, I am surprised.

The water oaks here are loaded, but I think white oaks are going to be few and far between.  I did find one white oak that was loaded but it was on the edge of our food plot so I don't know if the fertilizer had anything to do with it.

Very spotty in my area of the Hudson Valley. I found a couple of white oaks that are really dropping and the deer are hammering them.Hopefully they will still be dropping when it opens here in two weeks. TonyZ.

Very few in Delaware.  Last year was a bumper crop and actually made it hard to hunt as deer had so many food options.  I've seen a few reds, but no whites to speak of.

[Dave Lay]

they hit pretty heavy in the hills around here, nothing has dropped yet but i found several big whiteoaks just full of those "as big as your big toe" white oak acorns this Sunday.. it seems statewide we have a good crop this year.. I hope its not too good to where the deer dont have to move much...

[Slickhead]

Here in Ohio good. Or at least in my yard
Went out in back last night to put the cam under the apple tree and a young doe was eating her fill on the back of the property.

White oaks (shagbark) are raining heavy right now, look up in the trees and it looks like bunches of grapes.  Reds are pretty loaded also but they're holding tight still.   Earlier this year the reds were dropping small acorns, this puzzled me, asked a fella in the know and he explained that the trees were so loaded that they are shedding the immature ones to keep the bigger nuts.

I will report for Southwest Missouri.  Acorn crop is good to excellent, reds, the tasty white oaks, and the chinkapins are loaded also.  Animals will have a nice food source this winter.  Mike

Live Oaks are doing well in Central Texas.  I wish I had more Shin and Reds Oaks to get the deer excited.

Post oaks are producing well in my area of Southern Oklahoma. Small, but lots of them. Red oaks a little shy this year.

Almost non existent in central Florida. I'm hoping something starts dropping toward Halloween.

X2  they were sparse in my area last year too.

I went to check on some whites this afternoon and theyre falling. Deer and squirrels are feeding on them heavy.
