I have what might be considered a crazy idea, I hunt out by Ballinger and there are no Oak trees on our property, for that matter no Oak trees anywhere near our property-- so no acorns, my idea is I live in East Texas and have access to alot of acorns, could I carry several 5 gallon buckets full of acorns and spread them around my feeder to attract more deer or is this a crazy idea?

not crazy alot of people do it with good outcomes, ive done it once picking them suckers up for about 2 hours and put them under the feeder and nothing ate them while i hunted it for a week, the wildlife ate it later when i wasnt hunting there, but when i was watching the acorn pile nothing touched it

Might as well try it ... we don't have pears at our lease but I pick them in town and throw them in the feed pens and they get eaten, I don't know why they wouldn't eat acorns.
