Plenty of acorns this year, but not one hickory nut.
Last year i spent an hour everyday blowing them off my lawn.

acorns are huge i noticed

sounds like someone throwin rocks...

i had a showdown with the damn skunk however
lucky for him
i didn't have my nice round head crushin stone handy

but the bricks i threw in his direction after i hurled the huge boulder
(the scottish method)
made him decide to find greener pastures elsewhere........

Acorns

I thought it was just me but I too have a chit load all over my backyard and a huge concentration by my shed.I figured it was just the chipmunks hording them for the burrows

I once heard that when theres an over abundance of pine cones on the trees it would indicate a long snowy winter,does the same hold for acorns?

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

it might be...

Due to the fact we've had a dry summer/ and fall "thus far" for rain accumulation the oaks might bear more fruit...(acorns) because the
Rot factor is lower and more will germinate come spring.

Nature always compensates for certain weather conditions.
