I always put a fattie in when im out hunting helps keep me relaxed and makes the experience more enjoyable. I just brush off a few leaves and spit on the ground the deer could care less. The apple stuff wouldnt be much of a attractant in my opinion it smells apply and tastes apply but its not quite apply enough if that makes any sence. I'll stick to my copenhagen Lcor Wolf Wg Lc and be happy.
