Bumper crop here in metrowest and same on cape in Mashpee.
Crapload of oak nuts.
In zone m nh it's spotty and varies. Some areas with oaks I'm checking out are sparse and some have nice fat acorns on the ground already. That helps us.....a little bit.Well, that's good to hear that it's not statewide. I can't remember the last time it was this sparse here. I wonder how it affects the rut...?
Water is back to normal in my area of North Central....we got a bunch of rain on Wednesday. Swamps that were dry are now pretty full.We've had a bumper crop the past few years. A few fell in August, and now nothing. We've also got a drought going on. Places that have aways had some running water are now bone dry this season. There're a lot of Beech in the area that I need to check out.
Totally agree seeing same thing zone 7 in massIn zone m nh it's spotty and varies. Some areas with oaks I'm checking out are sparse and some have nice fat acorns on the ground already. That helps us.....a little bit.
Never seen it like that where some areas have nothing and some are loaded with mast.....usually it's generally the same throughout. I tried pinning the reason for the variables to something like elevation......closer to water etc but I can't pin it down. Just seems random
Hunting should be better, as deer are moving more to find food. High mast years, are worse for hunting.Well, that's good to hear that it's not statewide. I can't remember the last time it was this sparse here. I wonder how it affects the rut...?
