We have had a pretty cold winter in Walton N.Y. so I decided to give the deer a mid winter treat. On Saturday I went out to the old apple tree behind my parents house that still had about 100-200 still on the branches and knock them down. I stopped up this afternoon after work to see if anything had eaten any and to my surprise when I pulled in the driveway around 4:45 I had 9 deer having a feast. I know they are not getting much nutrition from them but I bet it taste better than just eating browse this time of year.
