Big acorn crops are a double-edged sword for us.  Big acorn crops draw a lot of deer to our property from nearby bottomlands once the crops have been harvested.  We see our biggest season-long deer census numbers in big acorn years.  But when acorns are everywhere, deciding where to hunt can be a crapshoot.  Deer don't move as far, as often or predictably when acorns are everywhere.  We usually have our highest deer numbers in a good acorn year but have our highest buck sighting rates in a poor acorn year, as deer have to move farther and more often to find food.  Plus activity will be concentrated in predictable areas (near food plots).
