    So I was at an acorn rich area over the weekend and gathered up about 8lbs or so of acorns. I don't want to just put them on the ground, i figured there would be something I could do to make them more attractive and have a stronger scent. Any ideas on how to make some homemade acorn rage type thing?

    Yeah I figured there was other stuff in it. I have some other acorn stuff that's not as good as the acorn rage and it says it has soy beans in it. Not sure that I'm going to get that crazy with it. Just figured I'd see if anyone had any ideas. Says they roast them but Idk how long and what temp...sure u don't want them cooked just heated enough to bring the oils and scent out. But I'm not sure.

    Crush them up with frosted flakes (generic) and apple sauce and mix with molasses and syrup

    If your woods is full of acorns, it's probably not worth the effort. They have all the natural food they want.

    Nothing better than real acorns... except persimmons and mine are dropping way early this year? I've got to get some and freeze them before they're all gone.
