Acorns in North Country

[NorthStar]

Good afternoon folks! I am a newbie to this forum(and Bow Hunting) and this is my first post so I apologize if my answer can be found under an existing post. I am curious what the acorn crop looks like this year. I live in Minnesota and I have not seen many acorns on the Burr Oaks this season. Was there a late freeze or something? If there are trees with acorns in my area, does anyone know when deer would starting hitting them?

Thanks everyone!!

I am in Western Wisconsin...we had a late freeze in April. Acorns are scarce in this area as well. There are some, but very spotty and not a whole lot of them.

Welcome! Where im at we have a lot this season already. Search the next couple pages of Deer Hunting section, there was a thread recently about this. My suggestion for scarce acorns is seek out N facing slopes, patches at the tops and someone said ridge saddles are a good place to look.

There is a local patch of hardwoods that I like to squirrel hunt on. I took a half day of vacation today walked all over looking for fresh falling acorns. I didn't find any. This is the worst I've ever seen it.

Here in NE Iowa, yes we had a late freeze & hardly have any acorns. Only trees I've found them on are east facing up on top of ridges, which get the most sun light. Apple trees in the valleys had the same effect, only the ones up top of the ridges have apples, others in the valley flowered out then got hit by the frost & did not produce.

Not sure how it is in MN, but in my part of WI i haven't heard a single acorn drop this fall.

Not finding or hearing much for acorns in the woods either, rare bad year.
