Possibly a chestnut oak.

The smooth lobed leaf indicates a species in the white oak family. Good deer attractant.

The tree does drop acorns. The deer perfer this specific oak over the other red and white oaks around and near it. I just am not sure what sub species of oak it is.

The leaves aren't quite as long as those in the link. They are more like a white oak shape but the lobes aren't as large as the white oaks are.

Found it thanks nub:)

Swamp White Oak


Quercus bicolor
The Latin name bicolor refers to the distinctive two-colored appearance of the leaves: green on the upper surface, and whitish on the under surface. Also, unlike other oaks, the dark brown bark of branches peels away in ragged curls exposing the lighter colored bark beneath. The English name of this tree refers to its preference for swamps, stream banks and bottomlands. The tree is found throughout much of Ohio, although infrequently in the hilly southeastern part of the state. Wood from this tree, although often more knotty, is used in much the same way as that of the White Oak.

Small accorns , or large ? , if small it maybe a turkey oak . Turky oaks are smaller trees allso , whereas the other 2 mentioned get big .

The best stand I ever had was in a small area of Swamp White Oaks. It must have been a chase area too because all but 2 or the bucks, in that area, were running doe. If you listen real close, you will here the deer biting down on the acorns and breaking them open, before you see the deer. Also it seemed they had a couple of favorite trees that they would hit 1st. Once the acorns start falling, notice which trees don't have any acorns under them. Those are the ones they like best.
Good Luck!

Looks like a white oak that didn't get invited to the prom... never got lobed. [8D]

I would have to say a Swamp White Oak also by the looks of the leaf and comparing to the tree book I have here.

The bark of this tree is really shaggy thats another way to tell.
