re: Anything better than sawtooth oaks?

I would look into a mix of different oaks rather than focusing on one particular one. Most of them won't take 30 years to produce, I have a nuttall in my yard that started dropping acorns in it's first 7-8 years.

If you are looking to do this strictly for deer food, make a couple groves of fruit trees, like pears and/or persimmons. leave a couple small openings for 1/4-1/2 acre food plots.
