Hey Mike, deer eat lots of hard mast which includes oak acorns, hazel nuts, beech nuts, hickory nuts etc. Of the oaks, White Oak is their favorite because it has a high protien and cab content. The white oak leaf is easily identified by it's rounded leaves. Red Oak (less prefered) has pointed leaves. Their diet can be made up of well over a third of White Oak acorns. You'll see it right away where the deer and turkeys cratch away at the leaves to get to the acorns. A good crop does not normally happen every year. It is somewhat cyclic and old acorns are ignored. Good idea Mike and its worth a try. Just make sure you seen tracks going to the oak. You may want to sprinkle some cracked corn or apples for desert. Sometimes they like corn and don't touch the apples or visa versa.
