I've found more than expected.
Quite a few red oak acorns dropping, and some are good-quality nuts. I also found two loaded persimmon trees yesterday.
The trees are scattered, fewer trees with crop than normal, but certainly not a mast failure. Haven't seen any white oak (nor chesnut) acorns.
Hickorynut production very low, but have found several trees (and good squirrel hunting) at lower elevations, as well as fair beech mast. Yestereday, I drove up to a creek bottom and stepped out of the truck ---- could hear squirrels cutting hickorynuts in three different directions --- all within 75 yards of the truck. Love to hear those sounds, even when I'm too lazy to get them, like in not wanting to clean squirrels.
