Personally, I don't pay much attention to the growing acorn crop before September. Maybe I should, but then not much will I do differently, whether good or bad acorn crop.
We've got a decent Red Oak acorn crop . . . . .
Again, personally, I'd much rather see a decent Red Oak acorn crop than white.
Sure, like to have decent of both, but if habitat is being managed well, you don't have acorn-driven herd health.
My worst deer hunting tends to coincide with bumper acorn crops, which tends to not only decrease deer movement, but also tends to make more of it nocturnal. So from a hunting perspective, an average acorn crop may be the most ideal.
Last year was maybe the most massive acorn crop I've ever seen, and considering the deer density, the worst deer hunting I've ever experienced. There was just very little daylight movement, and near zero deer stepping into any more open areas until way after dark. They weren't hungry, so fields & food plots were never anything more than a midnight dessert.
My wish this year is for very mediocre crop of acorns, and mostly reds if I can have my druthers
