We had so much from just a few white oaks in our backyard that I put the runt(Darci) our youngest of 3 adopted daughters to work and she helped me load this big wheelbarrow up with them.
I carried bags of them out to my ground blind just to find out there was several white oaks still left standing that hasn’t been logged out where I hunt and the area was surrounded with white oak acorns.
I dumped them anyway and took a few days before the deer were on them but whatever didn’t get Ate the squirrels had a fill of them and did some tree planting in the area.

this place has no oaks. so if they do grow, someone will have a good tree to hunt.

This year only few white oak acorns and pretty small. Enough to make the deer and pigs fat, but keep them searching.
