As of late ive found that the deer dont seem to be hitting my whole apples the same day i put them out, so for the past couple weeks ive been mashin em up and makin a sort of deer apple sauce. this seems to get em comin in the next night. any body else do this, or use some other bait scent like vanilla or molasses to get the deer's attention. oh btw i dont wanna see any anti-baiting replies here, thats not why i posted, baiting helps me hunt, but in no way makes it like shooting fish in a barrel. multiple times ive had deer ignore my bait and stay out of range in favor of natural vegetation. so dont rip on me please and i wont rip on you.
