Acorns are dropping like crazy!
Don't know if it is just in our area or not, but the acorns are dropping early this year. I think its becasue we had that cool weather with all the rain the past few weeks. I went and scouted one of our farms yesterday with Shawn and found a little honey hole. There were several trees in the immediate area dropping and it just looked like a feed lot in there. Tracks and droppings everywhere! Even a couple nice rubs and scrapes. I actually put out my camera on a scrape just to see what was using it. We usually only hunt this farm during the rut, but since the acorns are dropping so good we decided to check it out early.
Ty and Larry hunted a bean field last night and only saw THREE does! In this same field just last week they saw 23 deer feeding in it including two shooters. The deer in our area are already pulling off the beans and hitting the nuts! What are you guys seeing? |

I was at a friends house this weekend shooting bow's and I thought I was gonna end up in the hospital. They arent just falling they have a mind of their own and they were trying to kill me for sure.

They are falling like the sky in Missouri. Scaring the hell out of me and they hurt a bit when they get you just right.....Can't they see I'm trying to sleep....I mean hunt? I just blame the squirrels.

My local herd aren't hitting the beans at all, unless it's after dark.

Are all of you Missouri guys hunting north of I-70? I haven't seen any dropping yet down in the south central MO.

Just went out behind m apartment and they are loaded up with acorns but still green and pretty small. Probably got a little longer before they drop around here.

So the acorns are falling just as fast as the big bucks are for you guys? :D

That's true Micheal. I guess it's time to go find those stands of oaks that is dropping hot and you got a goldmine.

We have acorns on the ground early this year as well. Only because of Hurrican Gustav blowing through and knocking them all down prematurely. This is in Baton Rouge, LA.

Not so much the acorns, but the walnuts are crashing to the ground like crazy. The persimmons are getting really close to dropping as well.

I love the sound of acorns falling on a tin roof. It means the timber is prime hunting.

RE: Acorns are dropping like crazy!
Here in Illinois I haven't seen anything falling and from the looks of them, they are going to drop late or else they are just going to be tiny. I'm disspointed with the crop. With all the rain we had, I thought they would be loaded, but I haven't seen a tree loaded yet.
