What's the acorn on the right? I know the left on is a live oak. And what does deer prefer better?

That is a water oak.

Looks like a water oak, yes. I would say the deer prefer the live oak acorn best because they prefer the white oak family acorns best.

Huh?

The tree pic looks like a water oak. The acorn on the left is live oak. Acorn on the right, if from tree pictured is a water oak. He asked which the deer prefer better. Answer is live oak since it is in the white oak family.

I've always called them water oaks, but I think it is actually a pin oak. Or vice versa, I can't remember lol. The water/pin oaks drop lots of small acorns, but when other oaks are dropping too (white oak, overcup, etc) our deer like the other oaks better than the water oaks acorns. We don't have live oaks (in the wild anyway) where I am, so I can't compare live oaks to the other oaks

Water oak for sure.

As others have said, it is a Water Oak. I've got a bunch of them on the property I live on and they are raining down right now. Deer have really slowed up on the corn big time.

So deers would hit the water oak acorns over live oak acorns?

In E.Tx we call'em pin oaks. Our deer hammer these, since they are already falling. And they will continue to fall for the next month and half. Since I don't have any live oaks on our place, I can't say which one the deer prefer over the other one.

Looks to me like water and live oak
