Mast crop this year

My woods is loaded with acorns this year. Same with hickory nuts and walnuts. Absolutely zero persimmons though. One of my best doe stands is in brushy ravine with lots of persimmon trees and I haven't seen a deer all season there. Anyone else notice a lack of persimmons this season?

Tons of persimmons here and surrounding areas...more so this year than previous. No acorns on our property, but a lot in our back yard. Tons of hickory nuts. Tons of apples.

I have it the other way around. Late frosts around here led to almost zero acorns this year, atleast on the white oaks. On the other hand, persimmons are in abundance

We had tons of acorns last year and that many this year. Persimmons are everywhere though.

We have a ridge that is loaded with white oaks and there are hardly any acorns up there. On the other hand, I've never seen so many persimmions in my life. Every tree I've seen this year is loaded with them and the deer have been tearing them up.

No acorns at all here this year from the white oaks that should be producing. Must have been some late frosts or dry weather.

Tons of acorns, hickory nuts, and soft mast here in arkansas including persimmions
