What type of acorn?

[rooney]

What type of tree did this acorn come from? I've never seen such huge acorns. Do deer prefer this type?

I believe those are burr oak. I think they are low on the list of preferred acorns.

Yep bur oak and if not mistaken the deer actually like them according to some site I looked at, they put them right below white oak due to its sweetness. We have one at our place and right now the deer are really cleaning em up.

Those are huge. (unless you had your 3 yr old holding them)

Although I do have a 3 year old son, he wasn't holding them :grin:

Burr oak, deer love them and you hear them eating them a mile away.
