Fresh feed sign under a white oak would be top of the list.... persimmon are nice to have around....but finding that special white oak can be magic....good luck

Depends on the sign under'em. As a whole I'd say acorns but I have seen certain persimmon trees that seemed to be laced with crack because the deer chose those over everything.

I was thinking acorns as well. Thanks for the inputs.I'll have to hang a new stand on there trail in between the acorn trees

I am sitting on my white oak stand listening to acorns fall all around me wishing I went to the other side of the property and hunted the persimmon trees right now.

I have an abundance of both where I live. I have 5 persimmons in the field behind my house and they are dropping like crazy. A nice 8 point came out in the field close to dark and he never got close to any of those trees. He was wearing out something in my field. I thought that was interesting

White oak Acorns are a T-Bone steak to deer.

Deer are hitting 1 persimmon tree like crazy and the others not so much more on the acorn where I'm at. Set out a new set up today will see how it goes in the morning.

Acorns are king...persimmons from what I've seen are more at convenience to the deer. If there's a tree dropping ripe fruit between bedding and a destination food source (acorns or an open field) the deer will stop to eat the persimmons. Trees are loaded down heavy in middle TN this year and some have been dropping for 2 or 3 weeks already, others haven't started dropping yet.

Acorns, we have a lot of persimmons on our land, never really saw deer eating them. Seen a lot of ripe ones on the ground before and no deer tracks. Surprising to me.

Gotta be the right tree in the right place. I found some Simmons with fresh deer tracks this afternoon but the wind was bad.
