You folks that live or have a lease in western Anderson County, what's the acorn production look like this year? I'm gonna do a little bowhunting at the start of archery season. I've got a few spots scouted out but where I hunt will be dictated by how much acorn mast there is. I haven't been able to get up there in the last couple of months.
Thanks

I hunt the northwest corner of Houston County and haven't seen any acorns on the ground, but I have to admit I haven't been looking too hard. I am headed up there this weekend so I will take another look, but I know they are not as plentiful as they are in Conroe.
Having said that, shot placement is key and there is only one level of dead. Us east Texans can't afford turquoise and elk ivories for jewelry. So we use hog tushes and coon peckers.

I live east of Fairfield and I cant find a acorn on any tree on my property. Even the sawtooth oaks did not make this year.

I didn't seen any significant amount of acorns in north or south Houston County yesterday. I did see a ton of persimmons though on our place and they are already falling.

Pretty sparse in Steetman.. 2/3 of ou lease is heavily timbered with oak trees but have found only a few with tiny acorns. We have lost a lot of oak trees as well. Each time I go to lease, i have to clear the trails of fallen trees or limbs. Unless we see a improvement in the acorns in the next month or so, I plan to keep corn feeder filled and use a road feeder for trails.

hardly any acorns are being produced near Cayuga. Should be a good year to hunt a corn feeder.
