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. Last edited by teamduckdown; 09/29/14 01:13 AM. Turkeys be damned.

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.

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

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.

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.

They getting pics of two big 10's on a plot that's about 300 yards from the white oak ridge my camera is on that I had a buddy put up for me. I probably won't make it up there til November to take my little girl though.

I'm not real crazy about red oaks because the deer hardly ever are, but there are some in places that I'd hunt without any acorns, so we'll see how they do after the one white oak I found peters out.

I will be putting the Millennium 21ft ladder in tomorrow or friday. Found a few more that are super close to the neighboring lease but they are in thick privet with a really good trail coming into and by them. I will have to find a way in and out without messing with the other club. Bass Bandito

Acorns are very scarce, walked a larger area today covered with White and Red Oaks. Very few trees dropping. Best sign I saw was in a bottom with a stream that still has a trickle.

A few white oaks must have had some in the top of the canopies that I couldn't see because I found a few on the ground this past weekend. Have a Spanish oak that has a fair amount, so there's a stand hanging with a nice view on that ridge. Ready for next week, I took off next Friday and I'm considering taking off Wednesday and Thursday as well, watching the weather before I decide. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!
