Yep Quercus Stellata. Deer don't seem to touch them unless there's nothing left.

how do you tell the difference from their leafs and a white oaks leaf, arent they very similar?
Also, dont red oaks acorns look like that?

The deer are really tearing these up right now. Isn't Post oak in the White oak family?

It is a type of white oak, you can tell the difference because the post oak leaf is shaped like a cross

This.
Also, the lobes are more rounded and the notches in the leaves are deeper.
