Acorns everywhere. Walking through a little piece of property I hunt in wilsonville is like being on skates.

I don't recall ever seeing more acorns. Tons and tons of red oak (late season) acorns. Food plot hunting in my area will be non productive. IMO, overall reports for this years deer season will be poor. Deer don't have to move when there's food under every tree. Abundant acorn years usually prevent "lucky" hunters from getting their opportunity. It will take season long scouting to stay atop of the acorn crop of the week. YMMV

Friday I had a 2 year old 8 pt under me all afternoon. He fed on white oak acorns for about an hour and then bedded down 20 yards in front of me. Layed there for 45 minuets, got up and fed some more. He was very healthy looking.

We've got so many acorns on the ground that it's nearly impossible to find a hot tree. Our fields are getting hammered though. Guess they still like some variety in their diet.

I have never seen so many acorns in my life in Linden Tn this weekend and just almost as many in North Alabama. Less in Tuscaloosa.

Black warrior yesterday... acorns everywhere I stepped. Although where I normally would see deer droppings there were almost none.

We have acorns everywhere! Planted 1 plot for bow season and it is mowed down and beat up with tracks. I think the deer on our property are sick of acorns cause they are tearing up that green field. Every deer I have seen this year walks right by white oaks and other acorn trees to eat green stuff.

deer love some fresh tender green stuff in a newly emerged greenfield. They love acorns because of their high fat content since they are trying to fatten up to prepare for winter. They have to have green stuff for their digestive system to function, regardless of how many acorns they can find

They are on the ground in St. Clair county. You could hear it happen last weekend.

I have never seen so many acorns. I am living at a new (to me) farm up on the Mountain a few minutes from Noccalula falls. I ain't never seen anything like it.
