Went to a seminar in July given by Peter Fiduccia and he discussed how he uses apple and corn scents to attract deer. He just didn't stop there, he also recommended using the fake plastic apples, you know the type people display on their kitchen tables and plastic corn in conjuction with the scents. When questioned if this was baiting, response was no. The apples and corn are "decoys"... Umm I said, so I went out and bought a doze fake apples (can't seem to find corn cheap enough) and going to set a few in trees and on the ground as he described to give it a try. I have plenty of apple trees on the property, but during November they have already fallen or been eaten. I don't cut my corn til spring, so really no need for fake ones.
Food for thought! LOL, good luck this year!
PS, you can use apple scents even if you don't have an apple tree anywhere nearby, it's a great curosity scent! JIMO
