this is about as subjective as it gets. I love using Lucky Buck and have use deer cane before with miild response. Never used the Apple crush but have used Acorn crush in a couple different areas. Its kinda weird. I have used it in three different areas on the same farm all durung the Acorn fall and had very different results in all three spots. On spot they ate it but didn't tear stuff up to quick, the other they didn't even touch it and the last spot the tore the heck out of it... All you can do it give it a try.
