Why I like my sawtooth oaks

[Bushhog Bob]

In just 4 days and nights, I had 492 pictures of deer and turkeys. This was last week, but I think the turkeys thought it was spring. They were under the sawtooths day and night.

I use to hunt a place outside of Gray Ga. had 20 year old Sawtooths planted around the Camp House. Deer Crack!

Awesome! They great and reinforce my plan to plant a bunch of those
this winter.
How old are those trees, Bob?

Those gotta be 18-20yr old. Very nice trees my oldest batch will be 7 in February and they’re really getting the girth now and producing!

My neighbor has one that hangs over my drive way. It always produces acorns. A grove in the woods would be awesome for several reasons. One, it holds some of its leaves until spring. Make a good bow stand tree.

Its not a good tree to have in your yard for the same reason! Seems like it drops 10 leaves everyday all winter.

The trees are between 15 and 20 year old. Have 8 more across the creek that I will put a camera on this Monday or Tuesday. Also have a couple of Chinese Chestnuts that are droppings real good. Going down the field road that you see in the picture, it is like walking on marbles. Also ordered 10 Gobbler Sawtooths to be delivered in Jan.

Some of mine are gobblers as well. I don’t know which ones though. I didn’t leave the bands on them and not enough of them have produced to compare the acorns yet. Hopefully next year they’ll all produce and I’ll know! Not that it makes a difference but I’d like to know. Also my chestnut trees are dunstan and Chinese. I did mark those with a marker on the tubes but it faded away so again I don’t know which are which lol
