In my area there are plenty of acorns on the ground. There wasn't hardly any last season and we just had to manage. When acorns are scarce in the area, we always stock up on the Wildlife Innovations Deer Corn and scatter that out in our area. They eat that stuff up. I also recommend products such as Acorn Rage, small mineral licks (apple, persimmon, etc.), those gel attractants, C'mere Deer and other supplements.

During the spring months, we always dig out a hole, place a 50-pound mineral salt lick in that hole and wait for the results. These mineral licks keep the deer in the area during the summer months, throughout the fall and the rest of the deer season. This also helps in the long haul too. What happens is young fawns learn to go to that mineral lick throughout their youth and will continue to come back to that same lick when they are released from their mother's care.

We have around four or five of those in our hunting area. You will see tracks galore in and around your hole that you've dug. The deer dig the salt out of the soil after the salt settles into the soil after a few good rains. Try doing this in the spring (which is usually the best time to do this) and leave it alone until the late summer before bow season. You will be amazed at how much deeper the hole is from the deer digging it up. We fill our licks up once a year during the spring.

It's too late for that now though if you're talking about this season obviously, so try the products I listed above if you have a shortage of acorns in your area. You will be surprised at the sign you will find (tracks, droppings, etc.) in a couple of weeks.
