Default RE: What if?

White Oak acorns are 27% protein, compared to 14% protein in corn. Plus, corn will mildew causing harmful bacteria to develop when the deer/turkeys eat it. If eaten in large enough qty, the bacteria could cause sickness, even death.

Also, I have noticed around here that when the white oak acorns start falling the deer will walk around the corn to get to the acorns.
