Acorns

[Saratoga Leo]

Anyone else notice the acorns already on the ground?  On my land in saratoga the acorns are already hitting the ground and in pretty good numbers.  If seems a little early or not?

havnt noticed much of acorns on the ground yet over here in WNY, but it does seem a little early if you have them on the ground isnt it usually late sept. early oct. before they hit the ground

While scouting the farm yesterday. Lots of apples and hickory nuts. No acorns.

I own land in oswego and have noticed the acorns already on the ground. not in huge numbers but they're starting.

ACORNS ALL OVER!!! Every place i hunt there is acorns all over on the ground already, the deer are lovin em too!

I'm not seeing meny turkeys in the fields anymore,which tells me there into the nuts

YES - big time in the capital district area we have nuts on the ground everywhere. Acorns   (green) since august  they have rippened over the last week. yesterday in the woods in colonie it was raining acorns like a thunderstorm. No joke. white and red oaks. May be hard to pattern those deer in the bigger lots. They can just munch on them right in their bedding area.

I hope we have a good Acorn crop this year but there is none coming from the one in my dads yard yet.I remember about 5 years ago it was about 3" thick with acorns under that tree.They say they drop in cycles,some years bad and then a banner crop.I know the apple crop was pretty good this year but was still not a banner year IMO,but the deer are going crazy on them right now.

i've see apples on trees that haven't had apples in a few years IMO its a great crop of apples this year

[Tom Leitz]

The area I hunt in the central adirondacks has clearly had a poor season for acorns.  Very few on the ground and on the trees.   

[vivlamored]

there are lots of beechnuts and cherries though

[grousemaster789]

We have a lot of acorns down over here in michigan. About 3/4 are down and 1/4 are still up

[jerrygeb]

I was seeing them on the ground during the first week of September. Not too many, but green ones here and there.
There doesn't seem to be many on the trees though.

There is a huge acorn and apple crop this year in southern maine.  It will definitely make the deer more scattered.

Stay with the white oaks and you cant go wrong!
