473.0. "NE Mast crop 1989" by SA1794::CHARBONND (It's a hardship post) Thu Sep 21 1989 13:06

    What is the mast crop like in New England like this
    year ? Acorns, beechnuts, etc.
    
    I ask because I haven't seen many acorns in my forays 
    into Western Mass., or Vermont. (Admittedly not enough
    time out there.)
    
    The reports on bear season in Mass. say the crop is
    good, but I've seen large tracts of oaks with NO nuts.
    What gives ?

473.2	bumper crop	SALEM::MACGREGOR	I'm the NRA/GONH/NAHC	`Thu Sep 21 1989 14:01`	8
	In N.H. it looks like a bumper crop year for nuts. Up north in the White Mts. for example the bears have been climbing trees for beechnuts. You wouldn't believe how many beech trees that I have come across with claw marks in the bark from where they have been going up and down the trees. My brother for example got a shot at a bear in a beech tree a couple of weekends ago. Acorns are also in abundance too. Bret

473.5	WE COULD USE SOME!	LETO::HORN		`Thu Sep 21 1989 17:45`	3
	Send some nuts out our way! we didn't get the rains needed for a good crop this year in Arizona. you'll only find them around the rivers. even the prickly pear crop (another bear favorite) is lighter.
