Where is all the acorns?

It's just means where I hunt I can rule acorns out of apples, corn, beans, normal vegatation and the illegal baiting people are doing. Narrows it down..
 
I think hunting is harder when acorn are everywhere.... Years when they scarce easier to find which trees they are concentrating on

I agree! It’s a lot harder to see deer in CT when they can feed virtually anywhere they happen to be in the woods.

Fell in the water from all the rain we’ve had in my area. Pretty much toast.

Unless there are none on the property that have any and thats what I got this year! I don't understand it!
 
I haven't seen a single white oak with a good acorn crop this year in NJ, except for some sporadic swamp chestnut oaks in a few areas. It's so bad here this year we're seeing a mass squirrel migration. I've seen dozens of squirrels swimming across the Delaware river in the past few days in spots that are several hundred yards wide. I've talked to guys that have been fishing the river for 50+ years and have never seen anything like it. Seeing more dead squirrels on the roads than ever, too.
 
We had that the year before last up here in NH. Squirrels dead everywhere and them lay year had a serious acorn drop and pretty good this year so far. I agree it seems up here deer just feed and bed everywhere and anywhere especially when there are acorns in abundance.

@OspreyZB all over route 80, and route 23 are hundreds of squished squirrels. Its the strangest thing. My house is surrounded by big oaks. Nothing dropping this year at all. The Chipmunks are eating the dead buds off of flowers and anything they can get their little hands on. Last few years the trails in the woods were like walking on marbles the mast was so heavy. This year nothing.
 
What's Interesting. Took the family camping west side of state. I'm tripping over acorns all over the camp ground. :rolleyes:
 
I mentioned this in the team 13 thread. Here in SE WI I've checked probably a thousand white- and red-oaks. No acorns. I keep telling myself, if I can find some, it will be a gold mine.
 
Did find some acorns dropping on the west side of the state. Saw a good spot. To bad theres no hunting here. Acorns dropping and a water source. Took a picture. Screenshot_20200928-144035~2.png
 
Noticed last weekend, the amount of acorns around seems really low. Is that consistent with what you guys have been seeing? There is a hand full of Bur Oaks on the private I hunt that the deer around there love. But don't really see many this year. Also noted the big White oak next to my house is not raining very many acorns either like it normally does. Seems to be the consensus around the state from what guys have been saying. Have you guys noticed certain areas are still holding them? Or has it been all the trees have so few?
Curious what you guys have been seeing.
We are loaded with them in SW PA
