I wouldn't say we are overloaded, but its a decent year. Not all our oaks produced, but the strategic ones did. That's all I can ask for.

I went up to the sugar woods today to check out the food plots and acorns are falling good. Lots of them...

All of my spots are loaded this year too. I have one spot in an oak flat that was barren last year, but this year you can't take a step without hearing a crunch. Can't wait to hunt that stand.

Loaded oaks are a two edged sword. Great food source, but deer won't have to move far to feed. It really messes up our farm with the corn north of us. They stay in that corn and can come out anywhere along a 400 yard edge to hit the oaks. Its purely a guessing game on where they will be.

It's a very good year for acerns here in my area of the SW. It'll be a biggie reason why deer harvest numbers will be down cuz they'll say we were hunting the plots and field edges instead of oak flats....lmao
