In Wilcox Co. anyway. Went up to the club the other day and rode around most of the day, put out a few cameras and checked some of the oaks at my usual bow spots, and couldn't hardly buy an acorn. Check dozens of trees and found one, single Swamp Chestnut with a good amount of acorns. Everything else (white oaks, red oaks, water oaks) had absolutely nothing.

Saw a bunch of turkeys, 13 hens/youngins and 7 gobblers.

man,..that makes choosing a tree ALOT easier!

Without a doubt. My luck, it wont drop until rifle season

Na, if it's a swamp chestnut you should hit it about perfectly on the 25th.

The live oak acorns are very scarce this year on my place in Baldwin Co, which is why I went ahead and planted plots yesterday. The water oaks produced pretty well, but they have already started dropping heavily and certain red oaks have them.
Definitely an off year though. Hunting should be good.

Idk. Ive hunted and killed alot of deer under this tree. A couple years ago it was heavily loaded and didn't drop until first week of December. Lol

Water oaks seems to be loaded and already dropping. My sawtooths did nothing this year. Haven't taken a good look at my white and reds. I've got a limited number of good mature oak areas that I'm there no matter what in bow season. No reason to scout and mess it up

Oaks on our club in Fayette county are nut less . Here at the house you need a hard hat on, southern chestnut oaks are LOADED and raining down. Makes me scratch my head, cause we didn't have any last year either

I won't check mine until a day or two before bow season starts.

I hung a few stands Saturday & looked around some..I didn't see much either I dunno

I have seen the same thing. On a place I hunt in north Baldwin, there are 2 white oaks and 2 swamp chestnuts that have acorns and they are already dropping green acorns bc of the dry wather. There's only a handful of water oaks I have found throughout the county that have a crop. However, every single water oak and laurel oak in my back yard are loaded. Go figure.

Nothing on the Cahaba WMA after scouting all weekend. Headed to Black Warrior this weekend.

Scarse up here as well.

I went to the land Friday and could not find any on the ground or in the trees in Tuscaloosa county.

Wherever you are

Indeed

Think in a every 3rd year way and the acorns will be there.

Looked at a couple hundred white oaks this past weekend. About every 30th tree would be loaded.Really had to be persistent and keep looking.

HA! There arent 30 white oaks on the 8000 acres I hunt. So im screwed. .

Just scouted the ridge behind my house with hopes of finding a hot white oak tree to hunt early bow season with not a lot of luck. This ridge is always a good producer but not this year. Found no white oaks dropping looking like they had any. A few redoaks were dropping good but not very much sign around them. Zero muscadines either.

Found a few this weekend on one property and I mean a few.
