Have a look around , they are somewhere. Still doing deer stuff , maybe not in plain view .

These are pinoak acorns ( front yard) , had a good crop this year , deer didn’t really need to go far in daytime .

Kenny,
  We had so much from just a few white oaks in our backyard that I put the runt(Darci) our youngest of 3 adopted daughters to work and she helped me load this big wheelbarrow up with them.
   I carried bags of them out to my ground blind just to find out there was several white oaks still left standing that hasn’t been logged out where I hunt and the area was surrounded with white oak acorns.
  I dumped them anyway and took a few days before the deer were on them but whatever didn’t get Ate the squirrels had a fill of them and did some tree planting in the area.

Amazing how many they can produce, then a different year, none! 
Stay sharp, Kenny.

i took a bunch of redoak acorns out to my hunting area and poked them into the dirt in a few places . i dont even remember exactly where i put them.
this place has no oaks. so if they do grow, someone will have a good tree to hunt.
original register date- jan. 2010

We have white oak trees and the oak shinnery.  The shinnery will kill your hunting when it is full of acorns.  Some years it looks like clusters of grapes on them. 
This year only few white oak acorns and pretty small.  Enough to make the deer and pigs fat, but keep them searching.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

We didn't have much for white oak acorns this year where I hunt at bro's.  Thinkin about fertilizing a few select trees next year to see what happens...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I would have left those acorns in the wheel barrow until about now then collected all of the grubs that crawl out of them for blue gill bait.
