[QUOTE="griz01, post: 3720922, member: 14283"] Found this list somewhere when I was plotting: Acorns in order of preference for deer, and crop yield info Swamp White Oak - very low tannic acid, yield every year (deer favorite, found near water) White Oak - low tannic acid, yield every year with a heavy crop every 3rd year Pin Oak - low to medium tannic acid, yield every other year Northern red Oak - medium to high tannic acid, yield every other year Black Oak - medium to high tannic acid, yield every other year Bur Oak - High tannic Acid, yield every year Now these are "typical", a specific tree may yield on a different schedule. Your acorns with the higher tannic acid levels are good in the spring after the thaw the deer will clean them up. [/QUOTE]
