Well here in Pa , its kinda illegal to do so, so I have never done that for hunting, but have a couple older folks I know that rakethem up and give them to me, and I have dumped piles in front of a trail cam in my backyard a few times, but got tired of a million tree rat pictures, so stopped doing that too, now I just dump tgem out and don't care what eats them
farther from the house too, as got tired of things in my yard, sheds, buckets and what not's full of acorns from tree rats and chimpmunks filling and hiding them LOL
