A) i dont really agree with hunting over bait B) I dont know your reasoning or situation behind behind your decision to hunt over bait so i would be ignorant to sit here and lash out at you. Anyway, what time are dumping you apples out? If its in the afternoon then they wont come out till after dark. TRy to drop them out in the middle of the day and that may get them hanging around there in both the morning and afternoon. Good Luck
