Winged elm perhaps? If it has little wings growing out of the small branches it is but I can't tell from the pictures.

The only Oak trees we have here are not native so my knowledge is limited but my neighbour planted a couple and the Jays have spread them around. I think the White Oak leaf is about a distinctive as you can get. That coupled with acorns should pretty much nail it down.

If you ruined your chain saw trimming of that branch, white oak is a good guess, but any oak will do that!  Most white oaks I remember had somewhat horizontal limbs, though.

No I didn't ruin my chainsaw! I don't even have one! the branch was cut off when it was little so when it grows the open space grows like it wasnt cut. looking at the white oak information is making me even more sure! thanks for the help guys!

It's not white oak. You may have to wait for the leaves to come out.

I agree with a post oak, I have one about the same size in my front yard. The acorns are very small, dark colored and the deer will walk by a loaded white oak tree to get them.

 I set up a trail cam on mine one time and there were 8 deer under it in one night. There was a heavy red and white oak crop that year but these deer wanted post oaks.

hmm. I think I jumped the gun with the white oak. it might be post oak. the leaves look like it but your right Pat I'll need to wait for the leaves but I think we have narrowed it down to 1 or 2 trees. I really got to slow down with stuff like this!
