Oak tree identification

[Ski]

Deer will eat just about anything ... what about tasting sawbrairs ...

Lol I've got my limits

That's what I was always told to be pin oaks also.

The oaks I was talking about had leaves similar to those in the pics . But the bark was scaly white looking bark nothing I would consider to be in red oak family family but in the white oak family . I'm definitely not a tree expert. From my hunting experience I usually hunted around white oaks early because the white oak acorns seem to rot more quickly than red oak . Hunted red oak later on the year, had an old timer that told me they white oak acorns were sweeter than red oak but hadn't tasted to see

Was always told the pin oaks were the scaly bark whites also

I have. There's a very noticeable difference. The white oak tastes like a mildly bitter nut. Red oak was nearly as bad as a green persimmon. I'm an idiot. I taste everything in the woods.If the deer eat it then I want to try it too. Hardly ever swallow anything but am always tasting. Never had the balls to try nettles though, and deer love them.

How does ragweed taste? Deer sure eat the snot out of it!

My food plots do terrible. But one thing they do is grow tons of ragweed. Absolutely covered with it. The deer brows at more than they would any food plot I could have planted so what the heck. I am fixing to mow it and try again at planting something for fall and winter. In any event the Ragweed will come back like crazy next spring yay.

I've got video of my summer plots where I can zoom and to see which plants the deer are eating. Invariably, it's not what I planted. The deer are eating the ragweed.

Don't think he's hunting or scouting to hunt dogs maybe song dogs but not dogs .

Could be swamp chestnut oak, could be chinkapin. A picture of the bark would be helpful.

First picture is what was on our lease in Giles , other just plain white and red oaks also but there was a lot of these and they were young.

I'd say the first set of pictures is more than likely a Chinkapin oak. The second set is a red oak of some sort....maybe a shumard?

 

[tbadon]

Pretty sure the first photo is a chestnut oak. The third photo is likely a scarlet oak. The two bark trees are both in the white oak category. The second photo should be the chestnut oak and the last photo looks more like a post oak, but could be a white oak on a poorer site.

 

[Oldways]

Definitely Chinquapin Oak.

 

[tbadon]

Definitely Chinquapin Oak.

You are correct.

Chinkapin and Scarlet leaves

Shumard's look similar to Scarlets but they are shorter and as wide as they are long.
