I know it wasn't like that before. My wife was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons there when she was in high school over 2 decades ago. This country gets more strange with every passing day.
Definitely going to collect some of the acorns and plant them. It's a nice tree. Quick Google search says grow fairly quick for an oak with earlier acorn production. Thanks for the help.
I will get an up close picture of the bark tomorrow. Either way I will probably collect some of the acorns to get some more going in the rest of the property.
That's what mine said too, but I've never seen burr oak acorns without the fuzzy cap. None of the acorns on this tree have the fuzzy cap and it has a lot of them.
Here I was thinking the land around my dad's pond was almost all burr oak with a few black oaks and a few pin oaks. Today I noticed this tree that I always assumed was just another burr oak. Everything about the tree looks like all of the other burr oaks. Only difference is the acorns look like...

I won't be able to make it. My oldest daughter(10) will be swimming at state in Waukee all weekend. Im sure it will be fun hope I can make the next one.
This topic is always interesting to me. Im really conflicted on it. It was terrible for a lot of guys, but that's when my family really got their start farming. My grandpa started from nothing in the 60's. He sold the family car to buy a tractor to start farming. He bought where our home farm is...
I can't wait! Got my 10 year old daughter a youth tag. Very excited to take her hunting for the first time. Been seeing a lot of birds so it should be a fun time.
I always had a theory about the salt as well. I live on a highway and next to my driveway there is usually a puddle of water in the ditch. The bottom of that puddle is always full of deer tracks. They dig in the mud when the water is gone. Gotta be going after salt from the road.
