I was out looking around the property I'll be deer hunting this fall and found the following on trees. Are these a type of acorn that isn't fully developed yet or are they something else? Is this something that deereat?

They look more like under-developed pine cones.

I wish I could say with absolute certainity exactly what those are (also, you need something in that picture to give it some scale)--I would also guess that they are some kind of cone. They are not acorns.

What kind of tree were they on?

Oak trees= acorns

what kind of tree was it in?

got a picture of the tree?

I'll take a picture of the tree and leaves tomorrow. I think they are just not developed all the way yet.

I bet these are off white oak - this year is bad in our area (NH) for acorns and many are just dried in place because it has been dry this summer.

I hate to burst your bubble but those are not a corns. I am not sure what they are though.

I'm quite positive they are acorns. I'll take a picture of the leaves and tree then post.

If those are acorns, there is something wrong with that tree! I have a million of them in my driveway from the trees here, and have never seen anything even remotely resembling that.

Again, the area that I will be hunting and where these came from is very dry this time of year. I'm sure I would look something like that as well if I didn't have much water. I'll get to the bottom of this. Like I said before, I will post pics as soon as I get the time. You guys have acorns in staten island?
