Thread: Heavy acorn crop

Ours are heavy with akerns as well. Should be a great squirrel and deer season…fingers crossed

We are the opposite, got none this year , large numbers will be harvested , they literally run to the feeders right now .
The trees seem basically barren this year , we shall see ….

Baiting is illegal here but lots of violators. Heavy acorn crop drops their advantage, keeps the deer spread out.

here is this part of the world a heavy acorn crop is a disaster , these deer are known for traveling to food sources a long way at times and lots of acorns means they won't go to traditional hunting locations like green food plot fields and feeders .....
we love to see a zero acorn year once in while , makes em pattern up solid instead of wandering to and fro and standing off in the thicket all season on top of tons of groceries

Yep, every region has its own challenges, eh? Learn and adapt, both hunter and prey.

Not much in the way of acorns or any other tree nuts up this way. Even a very week year for the Mulberries. Just went out and seeded the old garden spot with four bags of flood plot mix. I need to get some bags of clover to over seed the field to give them something to eat

My mulberry trees produced once since being here. Apples dropped early. Food plot looks good, but with the acorns may not see much activity.

When the Mulberries produce heavy everything will come eat them. Deer, squirrels, skunks and the coyotes.
