You could always give it a shot and see if you get some results; I'd be interested to see if it's successful. :tup:

I've wondered whether you could attract deer with them in an area not near other oaks since they certainly do love them. Maybe I'll try gathering some up and putting a pile near a cam in my spot and see what they do with it.
