[QUOTE="DayDay, post: 5410340, member: 9643"] I've had a ton of barely developed acorns fall off the red oaks at my house during the last few days. I've read that they will drop acorns prematurely in order to focus energy on survival when the tree has been stressed such as in droughts. I'm guessing there will be fewer fully developed acorns around my house this year. I was kind of hoping that this means there are so many acorns that the tree gets rid of some early to help the others develop. I remember the season in 2008, after the late freeze and drought of 2007. I was hunting an area with a huge number of white oaks and I could not take a step in the woods with stepping on a handful of acorns as the forest floor was covered with them. I think the deer could bed down, get up, get a stomach full within a few feet, and then bed back down. They just didn't seem to be moving much during bow season. [/QUOTE]
