My son and I looked around and found lights of deer droppings around this one tree, so that seems to be "the tree"I'm seeing a lot of acorns in Mid TN (pretty close to you). However they seem to have just now started dropping. The reds are really green and the whites are somewhat green too, but are starting to ripen and drop. I feel like they are on every tree, so finding "the" tree the deer are under is key.
I'm in Old Hickory and not much from the big red that drops them on my house and few whites.I am in Lebanon and I have acorns everywhere!!! Both white and red are crazy full. Reds have been dropping for a while. Whites are starting to drop more. What are yall seeing?
When I left my property the other day just at dusk, I had to drive along the big agricultural bottoms where corn is being harvested as fast as they can get it out of the fields. Amazing to see the number of deer out feeding in the cut sections just before total dark. Fields were full of deer.Walked under good many white oaks this weekend on two farms in SW TN, no acorns on the ground to speak of, green or brown. Did find a few red oaks dropping "a little", but no deer on them. I cracked a few open and they looked good. In my neck of the woods, fresh cut corn fields are drawing deer from all directions. I plan to scout a few other wooded areas this coming weekend. Generally speaking, I expect white oaks to start dropping in my area around October 10th. If I find a tree dropping earlier that first week of October, and the deer have found it, it is a guaranteed killing tree.
I wish. Time to put up a tent.Here is a pic I took View attachment 196706
