The last few dropped over the last week or so. It was a down year with a dry ( for us) summer. Had about 1/3 of the crop as usual. There was a doe sniffing around under Tree#2 last night.How are the EO's doing? Still have acorns hanging?
I cant wait to get the ones in the ground I received from you last year, they're still in their pots resting for the winter until the ground thaws this spring. I have some oaks that I lost from my tree planting project a couple years ago that are going to be replaced with these. It seems around here this year the entire timeline for deer shifting from one food source to another has been off a few weeks. I think that is due to a bumper crop of acorns this year. I have heard this same story from many people. I am used to my property becoming very quiet once the acorns begin dropping as I dont have hardly any producing oaks. Hopefully I can tell a different story someday. Usually by now they would be onto corn or turnips/clover more consistently, I rarely have more then a deer or 2 pass through a night based on my cameras and my plots look better then ever. I am hoping that will change in the next week or 2.The last few dropped over the last week or so. It was a down year with a dry ( for us) summer. Had about 1/3 of the crop as usual.
