Default Need help with baiting

This year, we have a huge acorn crop so thats where the deer are. I don' t have any oaks on my 15 acres, but across the road, where I can' t hunt, its all around 300 acres of unhunted hardwood. They' re eating my corn, but its taking them about 3 weeks to eat a 50lb bag! Driving in and out, I' m seeing all the deer across the road in the oaks. My question, is there anything I can put out to compete with the acorns????? I was wondering if anyone has ever tried salted peanuts? I' ve read where deer love peanut butter and since peanuts are high in protein and fat and the salt should taste good to deer, it seems like that might could compete with acorns? I was thinking of just buying a small can of salted peanuts and just throwing them all around my stand, so one deer couldn' t just eat them all like they do under a feeder? Any thoughts or suggestions?
