Alabama · Mast reports
Alabama mast crop reports.
Alabama deer rely heavily on white oak and water oak mast in fall, with red oak and live oak holding deer later into the season. Mast quality varies meaningfully across the state's coastal plain, Black Belt, and Appalachian foothill habitats — a good crop in north Alabama doesn't guarantee one in the south.
2025

Preliminary reports indicate above-average mast in much of north Alabama; central and south Alabama mixed.

fair
Recovery year — white oak rebounded in some areas but production remained spotty across the state.
2023
poor
Part of the widespread 2023 Southeast white oak failure. Deer concentrated heavily on agricultural fields and food plots.
2022
good
Generally productive across most of the state; northern mountains slightly below average.
