Slow deer season? This may be why...

[Fatal_Bert]

Deer like the white oaks best because the tannin content is lowest in those as compared to acorns produced in the red oak family. Tannin produces a bitter taste. I've always thought white oaks were pretty big compared to some of the other varieties though the northern red oak produces some whoppers.

Yeah, the little white oak acorns. I think what you have in them buckets is the same as what's at my parents. It's a different kind of acorn than the little white acorn in the woods if I'm not mistaken.

It was a bad year for acorns on Fort Gordon. 2 bad years in a row now. Up until last year I could listen to it raining acorns in my go to spots. I hope next year is better.

Yea you had such a long terrible season this year....
