I did something like this several years ago with success. I scouted a couple of apple trees that were dropping and had a lot of deer coming to them so I set up over the trees. In 2 evenings I saw a lot of deer, but they were either out of range or the apples were in heavy cover offering no shots. So I went in early one afternoon and got myself as scent free as possible and using rubber gloves tossed some of the apples to a more advantageous position. Later that evening I was dragging a deer out.
