[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5785478, member: 5787"] This year has mimicked last year. But two very different variables. 1) 2022 being the first year I never found an acorn on our property in the 24 years we’ve had it and 2) 2023 being the best years of acorns in the 24 years we’ve had it. Plenty of does seen in 2022 in the food plots, but nowhere else. 2023, not much has been seen at all! It’s been dead - even the 2nd and 3rd week of November. Not sure what to strike it up as. One thing is for sure - we are doing heavy TSI in the offseason to connect the dots of other logged areas in the past for thick cover “welding” together. We saw a LATE rut last year and I believe that is due to the herds health from the lack of acorns. We saw a lot of activity on cams late October to the first 5 days of November this year - my only suspicion is that was natures way of “balancing” the breeding timing. I’m just hoping next year is a “mediocre” or “average” year for acorns….with timely rains for food plots. And if we have a descent year next year with that methodology, that’s what I’ll hope for in years to come. [/QUOTE]
