Beech trees have a strong biennial cycle and are avidly sought by critters.  
So you might be in an off-year or a day behind the furry ones.  I used to 
frequent a beech stand in eastern Maine when I lived up there and would 
collect some when I could.  It's a good time to meet bears, whose 
reproductive success hinges on the extra food reserves furnished by those 
beech nuts.  Luckily for me, we never bumped into each other.
