[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5667387, member: 20583"] That's exactly what it means on my place. My acreage is nothing but mature hardwoods, predominantly oaks, and surrounded 3 sides by 10,000 acres of state forest that is the same. What few scattered deer I have will be even more scattered on good acorn years. Worse yet, it's a variety of oaks where some begin dropping in October and others drop late winter. There are acorns all deer season long and they're everywhere. Makes for a challenge trying to get on a specific buck. All that said, I don't mind bumper crops of acorns. Seems to be the years following produce good hunting and big bucks. I suppose it's because the conditions causing good acorns also caused better than normal food everywhere all year, so the deer had an easy healthy year. And that means good antler growth, good momma health, and lots of healthy fawns. I'll gladly endure a rough hunting season ever so often for that benefit. [/QUOTE]
