Down here in Texas we use a variety of feeds for deer. I'll have to say that last year we had a lot rain that kept a lot of the deer away from the corn feeders. I had to use some bad apples to get them in. I wait until they are about a week or two ripe (nice and stinky) then go out and scatter them the day before the hunt and the day of the hunt. Have any of y'all tried apples?
