I have hunted that area of Ontario and doubt there are many oak trees or even apple trees for that matter. The woods are thick and mostly conifer with few agricultural fields on the Crown lands. The locals who do bait say it takes about a month to get the deer coming so going on a week long hunt it normally isn't effective to bait. The bait I have seen used was grain (wheat I believe) along with some pressed alfalfa pellets available up there at sports shops and occasionally a mineral block. The deer are huge up there and are always on alert due to the wolves. It was a great big woods hunt but difficult to still hunt due to the thick woods. Four of us went and we got 2 nine points. It is a hunt I would like to try again.
