Fruit bearing tree for deer

A guy at work who has hunted his whole life was telling me about some kind of tree (the name escapes me) that he planted around a stand where he'd bow hunt. said it would drop it's fruit around the beginning of bow season and he had success for a long time with this. anyone ever try this or know of trees that are good for this?

Yeah it has to be permission.
Of if you can find white oak, they tend to drop a little early and you can find deer around them alot in the early season.

Muscadines is more of a bean type plant I think?
We used to have a bunch on my lease in Vicksburg and they smelled real sweet. Deer used to love them if you could find a spot to bowhunt around them.

Muscadine is more like a grape than a bean

I must be thinking of something else. It's about 8-12in long and about 2-3in wide. Any ideas?

The trees on my old lease used to have big spikes on them all the way up the tree. I'll find it out. Those mississippi boys called them something.
Anyway, back to the original topic

Honey Locust?
Yep that's it.
The deer up there (north of vicksurg)used to love them at certain times of the year. We killed a nice 8 point and he had a belly full of them once.

I used to live by a bunch of satsuma farmers south of Belle Chasse, LA and they used to tell me how they would see deer up in their trees early in the morning.

yes, yes they do.
hell, all mentioned in this thread is what i look for during bow season. muscadines are an added bonus, food for deer and jelly for me.

Used to see these things spread all over the ground in early October and found the deer used to love them. Later on in the season they would get sour it seemed.

I think persimon was the name of the tree. he said he paid like 100 dollars for one that had a little size to it.

Deer over along the MS where I grew up will just go apeshit on honey locust at certain times of the year.
