well, first off i live in northeast nc currituck county. i was wondering if anyone has seen any acorns falling yet? i've seen some fall in my yard. couldn't see any in the woods though. and who knows when deer like them the most? like right when they fall or when they start to turn brown or what? PLEASE HELP ME

I live in southern va and I have seen acorns falling in my yard also. Havent really checked the woods but nice ones in the yard. as far as when they like em the most i cant say 4 sure but have had gr8 luck in early season(bow and black powder ) with deer coming in and feeding on them. cant say if its cause they have had little presure yet or just like em young

Welcome to the forum!!!

Beautiful country!!! I grew up in Gates County and spent many days bass fishing on Currituck back in the 70s and 80s...Fond memories...

Also dated a few fine ladies around there as well...I used to go to Elizabeth City to the movies and then went to the Circle to make out...

LOL hawkeye, you made out at the circle? are you talking about the restruant on 17? I grew up in E city. i lived there from age 0 to 20.

just a reminder: oak trees (especially white oaks) produce their best, most abundant crop once every four years

Yep...I was keeping it PG, little moreto it...

This was back in the early 70s...It shut down for awhile...My mom lives there, funny, my youngest daughter and I stopped there for a milkshake this past summer...

My mind was on how it was 35 years ago...

I've seen acorns falling in my neck of the woods already. Seems a bit early for around here. The White Oaks seam to have a good crop on them around here.
