Yup, black oak, which is in the red family. My blacks are loaded too.

I posted some pictures http://www.pursuithunting.com/2009/09/hot-and-nasty.html last year of a black oak dominant tree that was hotter than a firecracker two weeks before the season. There was a tremendous amount of fresh sign. Unfortunately the pattern had changed by the time the season opened. Any of you other old guys like me may remember the Black Oak Arkansas song that was the inspiration for the name "Hot and Nasty" I gave that spot. I included some vintage video just for the fun of it.

Same here Pursuit. The deer went after the chestnut oaks around opening week. Couldn't find that magic tree. But by the 2nd week of october there were three white oaks together that started dropping. After seeing several fresh piles of poop I relocated to 23 yards from them and killed a fat doe the first evening. These trees were GPS'd and hope they perform again.

I have a couple of whiteoaks over my field line and one down next to the pond that are always loaded. Noticed they are dropping yesterday when I mowed.

I'm convinced that there is nothing a deer would rather eat than a white oak acorn (in general).
You think they like White Oak acorns, you should see how they respond to Swamp Chestnut Oak acorns! I would have to list that acorn as #1 preference. Of course, the Swamp Chestnut is in the white oak family (and not to be confused with the Mountain Chestnut Oak).
