Here's my idea, tell me if I'm pissing in the wind or not. This weekend I'm going to start tapping for maple sap. Last year I had a thought but didn't do anything with it but am seriously thinking of trying it this year. I was thinking of tapping an oak or 2. Boil the sap down and save it for fall and put it out and see if deer are attracted to it. What see yea.

Until I started reading at permie/greenie/prepper sites I didn't know a guy could tap most any tree. I haven't heard of people tapping oaks, but I have seen people discussing tapping basswood, any maple (including box elder), birch, saskatoon/serviceberry, locusts, and a few others

What is the risk of oak wilt? Haven't a clue. the best I could find is it is transmitted through the roots or other connections between trees. If I sterilize my drill and tap I should be fine. I think |

I say give a try. What would you be out if it doesn't work?
Sounds like just your time.
