I'm seeing more acorns than you can shake a stick at on TVA land. All along the Flint in Clouds Cove especially I see rafts of acorns on the ground everywhere.
Deer ain't there though ... I have hunted TVA land quite a bit this year but it has been wasted time. I think the hunting pressure has been so intense that the deer have just moved elsewhere
That's how it was at Wheeler. The bottoms are full of acorns. Not so much in the mountains.
