Looks like a Black Oak?

 

[backyardtndeer]

Several of the white oaks here have a pretty decent crop this year, and a few are dropping.

Yeah I believe so. I know it's absolutely loaded. I'm better at referencing white oaks than I am reds.

Black Oaks - although I don't have a lot of them - appear to be the best producers in my area this year. Very high percentage carrying.

Undersized and dropping now from lack of rain

That's what I'm seeing on our small farm, small. Haven't gotten up to the lease yet. Got a persimmon site to check yet, might have the same results

That's what I'm afraid of at my place. In the severe drought and total acorn failure of 2022, nearby Swamp White Oaks produced down in the adjoining swampy bottomlands. Zero acorns up in the hills of my place. Every deer in the area was down in those swamps after the acorns and nothing was up in the hills.

If a man had a white oak that was dropping next to a water hole on the edge of bedding I'd say he would be in the chips opening weekend I'd guess… 2022 was tough for me also

Sure glad I've got them this year. Some years there's so much rain they're constantly overflowing. This isn't one of those years.

BTW I'm pretty sure that's a booner ..........

The frog, not the deer

Whites are falling hard around my house in Knox cty

This was yesterday. This tree is loaded year after year, no idea why. Have a few others around that have similar production.

What I wouldn't give for that! Zero Whites on place this year. Just a few Reds. At this point, on a scale from 0 to 10, I'm giving my acorn crop a 0.5.

Same just 2 miles south. We have some but they are few and far between. Was out yesterday hanging a couple of stands and looking for any acorns. The handful I saw on the ground looked stunted for sure.

This is one in the pic is out in front of the house along my gravel drive. I know deer hit the acorns on the driveway in the middle of the night, never tried hunting them in front of the house though.

Loaded white Oak .

 

[Farm manager]

My place, Humphreys County, almost no White family acorns at all. Only acorns are on trees in the Red family. About 1 in 10 Red Oaks carrying, and probably 1 in 3 Black Oaks. Almost zero on the White, Mountain Chestnut, or Post Oaks. And for all I know, this drought may be killing the acorns currently on the Reds and Blacks.

Same here on the Davidson -Williamson line.
