Acorns dropping

[mabr]

Anyone else have them dropping already? I checked cameras the other day and already have a few dropping. It surprised me having them drop this early. White oaks too. Guess the trees may be stressed?

The acorns have been dropping here in Central WI for about a 7-10 days already, I thought it was early as well.

I always seem to have some of my burr oaks drop in August.

they have been dropping here for about 3 weeks, good crop maybe all the rain and early/warm spring. fivebucks is right burr oak always the first to drop. their caps cover 3/4 of the acorn and have long hairs on them.

I have been hearing a couple dropping here and there but nothing significant or steady.

Don't know how long they've been dropping at Ottertail, but last weekend it sounded like hail on the steel roof. Got to the point where it almost was hard to walk outside without twisting an ankle.

Have you tried using acorns for bear bait?

[CANOPY SAM]

BW. That's a good idea. I bet a guy could sweep up a couple buckets full of acorns out of a city street under a few oak trees in no time.

Myself, my 3 year old, my mom, and my niece and nephew picked up 5 gallons of acorns from my parents yard last Monday. We also picked up roughly 2 gallons of crabapples from their yard. We used 'em on a bait station two days ago and today not a trace of acorn was to be found in the area.

I noticed a lot more falling this weekend.
