I was thinking red as well but never seen one shaped like that. The tree I am talking.
I got 60lbs of acorns from that bitch so hopefully the deer like em.

How big are the acorns? And trees grow totally differently when in the open from the start. My guess is nut-all without seeing any acorns.

FWIW there are two basic types red and white.
Whitetail deer prefer white oaks due to the lower tannin in their leaves and acorns making them less bitter and more palatable.
Reds and whites are easy to tell apart by their leaves. Reds have pointed multilobed leaves whites have rounded lobes.
That is a red oak. What specific species of red I do not know.
ETA: shumard is a red oak similar to nutall, always thought shumard was a white oak

Oh come on now.
He asked if anyone could identify it, wanted to know if the deer would like it, and is a hunter so could benefit from the knowledge.

Anyway, Nuttall vs. Shumard can be difficult.

If growing in a wet area call it a Nutall. Nobody is gonna argue against you.

apparently
Which white is the fast growing, late leave dropping one? I always thought that was shumard.
good for planting for tree stands and tree stand cover due to late leaf retention

Definitely this. I had one at my last house, grows fast but is a little messy. Would plant again.

Nuttall oaks usually have between 5-7 lobes (points) on each leaf and never more than 9...Shumard usually has at least 15 lobes and can have up to the 25-30 range. Other than that they will both grow in the same areas tough nuttall can tolerate slightly wetter sites.
Quercus Texana vs Quercus Shumardii
dendro ftw

Looks kinda like a Nuttall's Oak to me, but they are very similar.

So its a red oak, what I was looking for.
Thinking putting some in pots for use down the road, I am guessing keep them out of low lying areas?
