[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5451770, member: 1409"] I remain hopeful there will be a bit of an "October Surprise" regarding the acorn crop in Stewart Co. Can't tell you how many times I've thought there were very few, only to have more than imagined magically start falling in late October. In poor acorn years (and it is that in most my areas now), I love to just be in the woods on those late October days when the wind is a bit breezier today than it was yesterday ---- just listening for falling acorns, as sometimes this can be the best way to find a "hot" spot. Windy afternoons are also a good opportunity to do a combination "still hunt - scouting", as the wind can camouflage both your movement and your sound. Many times when the wind begins increasing a bit in the afternoon, acorns may start raining down from an isolated tree off your regular beaten path, and bedded will just get up and run to it. This can be a fun & productive thing to be doing from mid-day to mid-afternoon, especially if you can carry & place a portable stand to hunt a newly found "hot spot" for late afternoon (and often again the next day).
