I went from getting several buck pics to nothing. Either they took a break for the week of cooler weather or they've found the acorns. I've seen a few starting to drop.

The cooler weather and antlers finished mineralizing have bucks off the salt/mineral licks.

Persimmons are dropping extremely early in our area this year. The deer are hammering them right now. Also our Red Oaks are dropping some crappy looking acorns but the deer are wearing them out and are almost completely void in the fields now. I have noticed that a lot of the chinkapins have 0 acorns on them and then some have a pretty good crop. Our white oaks have zip on them.

I've seen some persimmons that are ripe, while others are still green.

I have seen quite a few acorns on the ground. Don't know if the squirrels are knocking them off or they are dropping, but the squirrels have been feeding on them pretty heavy.

Same here and with Muscadines as well. Some are black and falling while some are still even partially green and hard.
A few acorns are starting to show up here and there under random trees, but nothing major at all.

They are dropping here in Maury county good. Pasture traffic has slowed way down and movement in the woods has picked up quite a bit.
