Acorn crop 2019

Squirrels and deer have plenty of food from all the acorns that have fallen in NE Oklahoma. I’ll be out hunting tomorrow morning and planning on seeing a shooter.
 
for help in how to get on deer in a bumper crop, follow Mr. Warren's style of hunting - just walk, and keep walking, until you find the tree that takes your breath away. Even though they are spread out, they're just like us - they like good food. They will prefer a tree, and they will hit it until its empty or something disturbs them. Check out the sticky in the deer hunting forum.

Few acorns hitting the ground here with wind. I forgot my binoculars on my last scouting trip to check the tops to see how they're doing.
 
Lot's of acorns in south central Iowa this year. Noticed a lot of oaks look sick here though.
 
I’m in Mills River. They have been dropping like rain for two weeks.

Our place is in Ashe County. My cousin hunted a white Oak at my place last week, said the same thing. Hate I’m missing out. We don’t have a ton of oaks so it’s easy to narrow down the right one.

There are literally no acorns here this year.With hurricane Michael coming when it did last year and tearing everything up so bad Its like the cycle form the trees is off or something.Weird.Feeders will be hotter than ever for the boys that hunt that way.
 
Looks like the few we had fell really early this year. I’ve walked several miles and seen maybe 20 on the ground!!

Southern NH you cannot take a step in the woods without hitting an acorn. I don't think it's great to encourage deer movement as they don't have to move!

Squirrels either. 4-5 times out and barely seen a squirrel on the move.
 
Fair across the board here in East TN. Red, white, persimmons are all producing in my spots. Not super heavy, but enough to frustrate the field edge hunters.
 
Lot's of acorns in middle TN. Looking for white oaks but couldn't find any so set up under some massive red oaks dropping tons last night. They were the only food I could find on this piece of public. For some reason, they didn't plant any of the fields this year. Paid off. Two minutes left of legal shooting light and a buck makes the mistake of walking out looking for some of those acorns. Those were his last acorns.
 
Some are falling around here, but most trees look like this one. Still waiting impatiently!

I've been told white oaks go in 3 year cycles. From my own farm here in Virginia this seems to be fairly true. Not that all the trees are on the same cycle, but some of the big ones had been full for the last few years and this year are completely barren. Our red and pin oaks have acorns, but not huge crops. Our area didn't get much rain through the summer so I'm assuming that has an affect too.

This is actually a great year for us to find the white oaks that do have acorns. Also standing crops and food plots are getting hit harder with less acorns in the woods.
