Mixing acorns in your corn?

[mtclev5651]

Has anybody ever collected acorns and put them in with your corn/feed that you scatter?

If you have, did it work?

Thanks and 4 MORE DAYS!!

I have a buddy that collects white oak acorns from his yard and relocates them to his deer stands.

Does he have success?

Does he have success?

Yes, he kills as many big deer as anyone I know of.

He is in Louisiana, so he get 3 buck tags per year.

Any certain tips you know that he adheres too?

My buddy rakes them up, stores them in buckets in his shop, then puts them out at his stand as needed.

When my kids was young I could encourage them to pick up a couple 5 gallon buckets full outa the yard. The Taylor county deer didn’t have many white oaks but they would walk through corn or food plots to get to them acorns under a pine tree! Tried sucking them up with a shop vac but you get a lot of trash

I've swept up crushed white oak acorns from a parking lot with large white oaks where cars crushed them for me and shovel it up.
I make a tea in 5.gallon buckets with the crushed acorns and pour it out and refresh the spot every couple weeks. Over time deer will dig a hole several feet deep to get at it.

Shhh dont tell the buck bait and lure companies.

I’ve raked up many 5 gallon buckets of northern red oak acorns from the fire dept yard. I put them in piles along trails, not in a feeder. They tend to be eaten pretty quick by deer and squirrels.

A while back my mother in law went on a blind date and when my wife asked her how it went she said it was terrible! She said the man said that he wanted to go to a park, which was fine with her, but when they arrived he got two buckets out the back of his truck and a snow shovel and put her to work for an hour gathering acorns in a parking lot for his deer feeders. Now, this is a woman who is terrified of bugs and anything associated with the woods. My wife and I were in tears listening to this story!

I asked her, well did you complain? She replied yes, I said well you failed the test. Lol!

Next date might have been putting her on a big buck.

Yes seriously. Many folks give me the that guy is crazy look when they drive by and I'm sweeping a random parking lot with no trash or dirt in it with a push broom a flat shovel and a couple of buckets.
The tea can also be sprayed from a gallon milk jug with a slit cut in the top and will bring em into an area but pouring it in one spot and keeping it fresh will start deer digging like a miner.
White oak acorn tannins are a very powerful attractant.
