Today i went to start baiting for rifle season. I took apples from apple trees and put them in a bucket and used a 2x4 to mash them up. I went to my hunting spot putting the apples it various spots. At the last spot after I just emptied the rest of the bucket of apples the smell was so strong that by the time i looked up there was a little buck running right at me. Don't get me wrong this was in the middle of the woods back where deer don't associate with humans. The little guy came up within 10 yards. I slowly backed off and he ran right to the apples and ate them as I walked away.
