Nuts

[Pine]

Where are they?
Acorns, here in this part of Michigan, don't see any.
Went to a park and my wife and I walked the trails and it was mostly White Osk trees.
In two and a half miles, saw maybe one on the ground ever 50 yards or so.
Couldn't find them on the trees either.
I have one big White Oak in my yard and no acorns?
Anybody else noticing this?
Where I deer hunt I don't have oak trees and I usually don't see deer until around the last part of October. Because the deer like the acorns.
But the deer are still here and that tells me they are not finding acorns.

The acorn crop up here in the western U.P. seems to be super heavy this year. If its windy,  I feel like I need to wear a helmet when scouting in the oaks. The ground is almost solid acorns in spots.

Here in Maryland almost zero acorns this year.  Found 1 white oak dropping some and shot a doe there.

Here in NYS the acorn drop has been zilch, we've also had a pretty bad gypsy moth problem this year, my mind is linking them together but IDK.

Orange County NY and Sussex Co NJ there are no acorns and I've looked multiple farms. The few I've found dropping were still light and in spots they were landscaped so they had everything they'd need. That being so we had snow and cold in May. I wonder if the cold killed the buds or something

*I am seeing acorns in good numbers in S.E MI. this year in my area.

Acorns everywhere I've been here in S.W. Pa.  Yesterday was super calm in the morning and all I could hear was another acorn dropping.  So many the deer are spread out.

[Yooper-traveler]

Pine it's better than last year up here.  In my part of the UP we only have red oaks and they are dropping.

[Possum Head]

Excellent crop down south.

My part of Va has a bumper crop this year

Yesterday a large flock of starlings landed in the white oak next to the house. Instantly it started raining acorns. The birds were in the tree for 5 minutes or more and the acorns rained heavily until they left. We have a good number of both red and white acorns on our 25ac but the whites rarely produce heavily if at all. The reds seem to always produce.

[Recurveaholic77]

In my part of NC, coastal, there are not any acorns which is very unusual!!!

[Wudstix]

In this part of Texas the acorns are small, peanut sized. The reds are normal.

[Friend]

Plenty in my area of western Ky.

[STICKBENDER98]

I'm in west central MI, all the oaks in my yard are dropping in plentiful quantities, and where I hunt also.  Whites, and Reds both.

[Curtiss Cardinal]

If you want to see better acorn drops in the areas you hunt go to a garden supply store and by tree food spikes and drive them into the ground around both the big and the small oak trees. They should have fruit tree spikes and general tree spikes. If you can find nut tree spikes those will work best. You might want to put nut tree spikes around other but trees Mike pecan, hickory and pig nut. Do that for your own larder.

We've got a pretty good crop of red and white oak acorns this year in middle/south georgia.  The white oaks are falling a little early it seems this year.

[Sam McMichael]

They are very scarce on my little plot.

[Pine]

This is very interesting, none some places, just normal other places and yet again, very few.
And also it's the whites. The reports are just fine for the reds.

Cyclical!
