SW Mississippi, guess the late freeze and or the drought messed em up , very strange this year so far I am seeing
Water oaks, smallest acorns I have seen , no bigger than a blueberry
White oaks and sawtooths, both are just starting to drop(usually drop mid sept through early October) full size acorns but every one is no good , dry rotted on the inside ?
Live oaks seem to be okay just a light crop
Red oaks , I have not seen any yet
What are y’all seeing ? Combined with no rain for the food plots, looking like corn will be king?

Middle TN it's raining acorns. In our hunting spot yesterday we might have died had we not been in the pop up.

Lincoln Parish north central LA, looks like total crop failure on acorns. We sat around the camp fire last night from dark till midnight under a bunch of oaks and did not hear 1 acorn hit the ground.
At my house in Lafayette, I have 1 water oak in my yard and it’s absolutely loaded and dropping tons of acorns.

Lake charles and North of us look like it's a bumper crop this year for acorns.
Similar to about 4 or 5 years ago when the kids and I would pick them up by the buckets to feed the deer.

Lease around Thibodaux, I've seen a literal handful of acorns.

This seems to be a banner year in the Houston area. Acorns raining down everywhere and lots of them.

North central Alabama and, if a herd approaches the corn, one eats the corn and the rest are face down on all the acorns dropped. Banner crop this year it seems.

tommytwotone told me in my Here Comes the Boom thread that there was a bumper crop of acorns.
I’m not sure where he is located but I’m not seeing much in Franklin Parish.

The white oak in our backyard in metro Atlanta has been working overtime producing acorns.

I think the cold weather we had last spring fricked them up. Worst crop I can think of. I have 20 sawtooth oaks that are 15-30 yo that are usually loaded. I think they made a handful. Some of my old red oaks made a few but I don’t think they’ll be on the ground very long

Aren’t acorns a every other year crop ? And it’s area specific?
I may be way off base, but seems like the old timers always said this.

Very dependent on weather conditions. I fertilize the trees I’ve planted with extended release fertilizer and they did terrible. I can say it wasn’t for lack of nutrients

If they said that, they're wrong.
Oaks generally produce a crop every year. However, in red oaks, it's 2nd year acorns. It takes 2 years for a red oak to produce a crop, but they drop every year. Basically have 2 years worth of acorns on the tree at any given time. White oaks drop every year.
Most of what I've seen is trees dropping acorns, but there's nothing in them. The drought impacted acorn production significantly in some areas.

East GA the white oaks are dropping acorns the size of the last knuckle on my thumb! Seems as if every tree I have is dropping them. You can hear the thuds around you and could hear a little 6 point crunching on them as he walked by.

On my hunting property in Columbia County (SW) AR, there're very few acorns. We had a bumper crop last year. Food plots are looking good.

Whole bunch in north central MS.
There were a bunch last year and we have a bunch again this year.
I parented my truck under one of the white oaks on my place one afternoon while I was bush hogging. There were probably 10-15 in the back of my truck in 4-5 hours.

I'm also in SW Mississippi (Wilkinson County) and I'm seeing the same thing... or should be say NOT seeing any acorns.
Yes. No elaboration needed.

Any oak tree in Georgia is dropping dump trucks.

Our place here in Central Missouri has a ton of acorns dropping. No shortage for us.
