I don't know what it was exactly that happened, i know it's got to be weather related though. Our native oaks, Post, & Blackjack (cross timbers region) did not produce acorns, very few if any. The last couple of years they have been outstanding crops. I've been going up to my lease in Kingfisher county about 65 miles NW of OKC and they don't have any either.
I wanted to bring this up because if you are hunting an oak woodlot in central Ok, you may want to look for another food source because the acorns are scarce. If you find a tree that is loaded put a stand up. Whats weird is Sawtooth oak & Shumard & Red are producing like crazy. It pays to have a lot of diversity in mast crops. I live 3 blocks away from the North Canadian River and the deer are coming all the way up in our neighborhood to eat acorns. I've lived in this house for 23 years and never seen anything like that.
At my place in Eastern OK they are fine and producing normally.
Strange year.
