Smitteken Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well this year definitely isn't the bumper crop of last year. Last year there were so many it was like walking on marbles. I went out the other day to do some scouting and the white oaks around me are nearly barren. I just checked some of the easy to locate areas but I think the dry summer put a damper on them. Same for the persimmons. Whats everyone else seeing? The reds don't look bad; there are a lot more red oak trees around me. So I guess I'll have to put my efforts on them or on the bean fields.

MUDRUNNER Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Re: Illinois Acorns Our crop wasn't near what it was last year.I imagine it was to too dry and hot during July and August.I guess that will put the deer in the fields during feeding hours and out of the woods.Kind of a bummer for me since I hunt around quite a few oaks,and very little agriculture.A few oaks had some damage from a couple of severe storms over the summer too.
