I've never seen them eat pecans, but found a spot in BCNWR with lots of pecans, few oaks, and a bunch of deer shite. Place needs an east wind to hunt, which is rare, so I only have hunted it once. Saw nothing. May need to just risk it during the rut. I would think if they eat acorns, pecans would be viable, especially after to acorns are gone, but BCNWR produces so much mast it rarely is all gone.

They do eat pecans, but swallow them whole and later regurgitate them and then chew them..

As does all ruminants I believe.

chewing their "cud"

if my memory serves me correctly.

Sure it wasn't over there? -------->>
