Why not just bring in a bucket from your yard and dump em out? Would be much quieter than a leaf blower in a prime hunting spot. Power equipment goes nowhere near my stands, but to each his own.
I believedumping a bucket full of carried-in acorns would be baiting while uncovering existing acorns would not. That being said, I agree that with the nose of a deer they'll find them leaves or no leaves.
