Here in GA deer will be on the persimmons and in the alfalfa early in the season, then as the days shorten and the oacks begin dropping the acorns, you definitely switch to them. Seems they prefer the Northern White Oaks and Chestnut Oaks, then the Northern and Southern Red Oaks over any of the Water Oaks or Pin Oaks. However, no one has mentioned the steady browse of honeysuckle. We always see the deer munching on that stuff year round!
