Found two on my lease with at least a few thousand acorns on them. Tree limbs are bowing big time.
Questions,
1) how many of you put time into hunting these during bow season. 2) will they drop green or will they brown up before. 3) when do they typically start dropping.

Ours start dropping the week of bow season, give or take a day or two. I've killed some good bucks hunting Swamp Chestnut Oaks.
83% of all statistics are made up.

If you found them loaded and don't hunt them the first opportunity you get then you have 0 sense. That pretty clear? Go get on em.

Yeah I have two spots picked out already Matt. Should be super easy to drop in from the log road. Have to spots on a ridge with a natural funnel to and from them. Had a cam out ab 100 yards from them over a big and j block and it was gone in two weeks with over 1000 pictures in that time with a 3 minute setting.

Someone posted a while back that their swamp oaks leaves were turning brown prematurely.I noticed mine were doing the same thing.Anybody ever say what might be going on with them ?

I would sleep in my stand next to that tree. Be careful if they are as big as the ones in the Swamps in Lowndes those suckers can make some nice bruises when they hit you.

We had one down at Portland Landing that would start dropping around Thanksgiving. It was the latest one I knew of on the place. I killed lots of hogs under that tree.

I have a question, is the swamp chestnut oak the same that some call a mountain oak?
I've heard they are different and I've been told they are the same tree.

Totally different trees deer won't hardly touch mountain oak acorns where I hunt. they eat the heck out of em where I hunt, until white oaks start to drop. Probably depends on terrain though. If you have a lot of ag close by then maybe they don't eat them but in large tracks of timber they will eat them.

I find several of them while turkey hunting that have sprouted.
