Finally found about six chesnut oaks, loaded and dropping. Lots of bear sign there and a few deer tracks. It was down low around 1800 and thats the only chesnut oak acorns I have found..

Well a bear showed up at 7:08 am, and took a china made rage through the lungs, didn't even have time to see a deer!

One thing I have noticed, no bear expert at all but I noticed a good bit of scat under producing whiteoaks and got a shot on a big boar that I learned was a little far forward and the animal was not recovered. Found more sign of hogs and deer in the bottoms. Bear up on the leads around 2000 ft. Good luck. Looks like plenty to go around this year!Congrats on the bear @goshenmountainman. I've only found one chestnut that is lightly producing, but I walk past a bunch of reds that are raining on my way in. The road is littered with acorns caps, which I assume are from squirrels since this is on a forest service road, but is there anyway to tell what critter at the acorn? I did spook a big animal that I thought sounded like a bear just up the mountain from these reds.
