[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5626009, member: 17"] Then I would favor the White varieties for a fall food source. The vast majority of muscle-mass bucks put on for the rut comes from White variety acorns eaten late September through November. Depending on rainfall, White variety acorns go to root in late November. However, they may root even earlier (early November) in a wet fall or as late as late December in a dry fall. As for why deer stop eating them when the go to root, I don't know what chemically changes in the acorn, but have you ever tasted malt? Malt is nothing more than cereal grains (usually barley) that has been allowed to germinate (go to root) and then dried and ground up. Malt tastes VERY different than ungerminated ground barley!
