    What are you guys seeing and where? Any specific type of oak you are seeing acorns in?

    White oaks and pin oaks look good here. Our acres of sawtooth oaks look like will be loaded up again this year, deer hammer those things like you wouldn't believe.

    I'm mostly seeing red oak acorns in my neck of the woods.

    I have white, red, bur and pin oaks. The squirrels are already getting after the white oak acorns. Typically the oaks have pretty much all dropped by the time hunting season opens

    Seeing a good mast crop here this year. The hickory nuts are looking great, but the squirrels aren't cutting very much just yet. Should be a good crop of acorns for the deer and turkey this fall, here in west central Illinois anyway.

    The red oaks in my woods seem to have a good crop.
