What if?
If I could mass produce a pellet that worked in your corn feeders but had the taste, smell, and nutritional value of a white oak acorn would yall be interested??
I' m talking about EXACTLY if not better, not just throwing it against the wall and seeing if it sticks. This product would more or less be a synthetic white oak acorn.
BTW-I would have to sell it for around $8 per 50lb bag.

RE: What if?
I would give it a try, it needs to be water proof cause alot of feeders don' t have any rain protection and then for guys like me to get it there would be a shipping charge also, Its hard to beat the benefits of plain ol yellow corn though.

Strut,
I don' t know exactly where Alton, MO is or how far it is from the MO/AR line but when I get the first batch made maybe we could meet up and I wil give ya a bag or two to try. It will probably be at least 6 months.

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.
