Ok, as I was walking to an old honey hole... I found these ALL OVER the ground. It is in a very small area that I have to walk through before I get to where the deer are, it is surround by a cliff, a HUGE fence, and a RR track. It is about 1/4 acre of inaccessible (by deer) land. I was thinking about scooping them up an moving them to my honey hole and keep them coming in til late rifle season. (I save this spot for last because NO ONE can access it but me)

Let me add... I know they are acorns... my question is what kind??? I know white oak is preferred over red oak and etc, but I have never seen any this HUGE!!!!
 
yeah I wouldn't move them to your spot, placing any type of food to attract wildlife to hunt over is baiting. Too bad you can't transplant the tree... might not be high on the deer's list anyway
 
I would only be moving them to try and get some pics on my trail cam, they would be LONG gone before I got to hunt there. The requirement is two weeks right? I was just wondering if they would appeal more than other acorns that are in that area. It is over a mile walk and this spot is only about 100 yards from where I hunt. I would be nice to walk here, load up, then only carry 100 yards. I have packed corn in on previous years but it nearly kills me and all I get are tons of coons and crows. One day I packed 50 lbs in, the next morning it was ALL gone. Checked camera... 7 raccoons ALL night :(
 
They just caught my eye really, They are almost 2 inches long... Now that I think about it transplanting would be a pain either way and it seems like it never helps that much. I quit corn altogether two years ago because all I get are coons and apparently a single coon can eat 500 times its body weight in corn in 5 minutes.... or something like that. :)

I would need to see the cap from the side, but they appear to be Mountain Chestnut Oak. In most areas, deer aren't that fond of them.

Chestnut acorn I think,and FYI moving them to hunt over would be baiting

Yep, on both counts.
And like BSK said, deer don't really prefer them. We call then "starvation" acorns here at home.
