white oak dropping?

checked my cams yesterday and out of 105 pics ( not bad for public land I dnt think ) I got one little buck and the rest were does minus a few blanks. decided to move the cameras because i need more buck pics and found a white oak that was beat to death under its canopy. 7 piles of dropping and tracks everywhere. the kind of tree you want during bow season but I dnt think I've ever found one this early in the year
I thought maybe coons and squirrels are knocking them down but idk. I put a camera there and put a camera on a tree that was just like this in Oct last year. it had 3 acorns on the ground that I found. is this normal in your experience or has the cool hot cool summer screwed up some oaks... or maybe it's the eclipse to blame

Lots of them in the trees at our place but not much sign of them falling yet.

I haven't seen any dropping yet

Idk then. I just hope it's the only one for now. I hate bow season when I can't key in on a hot oak tree

I have never had a white oak drop this early

If it's one tree could be birds. I've seen a small flock home in on one tree and make them fall like rain.

that may be it. I've never seen one drop this early either. oh well I have a camera on it anyways. maybe I'll have a buck worth chasing soon.

Still early for oaks, in my opinion

Sawtooths are beginning to fall.

Crack it open to see if it's ripe. Probably early.

Found some large acorns dropping in the forest the other day. Maybe mountain oaks? Saw tooth? I'm not real sure but they were ripe and deee had been eating em.

Found a sawtooth with just 3 green acorns under it on Cahaba WMA yesterday. Boy those things really jump out at you when they're green.

I will say the top of the tree was mangled like it had been damaged one or two seasons back, don't know if that had anything to do with early drop? Seems like I've heard a tree under stress or dying will produce more and earlier, don't know if that's true or not.

now I've found acorns in 3 different areas of bankhead. only one tree had allot of acorns under it and alot of sign. the other spots just showed a few here and there. found a ton of persimmons tho and i mean a ton

Sawtooth are starting at my place in Autuaga. No white yet. Live oaks loading up too but very green

Seen alotta acorns in bankhead also!

They started falling this weekend,,,green One all
Over the place

White Oaks in the woods at inverness park are falling like crazy. Not so at my club in perry county.

Can't take a step in Shelby county without rolling your boot on 4 or 5.

Sawtoothes always fall early or so it seems

The sawtooths and Chinese Chestnuts are raining down! Killed 18 hogs under some last week.

Crazy, and my persimmons are still green!!

Old Irma knocked down a bunch on our place this week. Green golf balls everywhere.
