Chestnut oaks started dropping the middle of August around here...A lot of acorns went on the ground Saturday as Irene came through...Deer prefer white oaks, then pin oaks, then chestnut oaks and finally red oaks...They'll eat them all but prefer white oaks...

Find a good white oak dropping by a cutover and you'll see deer...

btw...Look at the caps, if a half moon is cut out, a deer ate it...
