i hunt an apple orchard so i cant really give you my opinoin because i have apples everywere but i do know there are some big dear on the orchard.

I put out 35 gallons of apples last year in different locations and with in 2 days every spot was cleaned up.

We have an incredible apple crop this year. The deer are hammering them. They love them out here. I have shot many deer in old wild orchards.

thanks for the tips, i just happened on this spot yesterday, its a cow pasture(with no cows) that has a creek runnin through it, it has a 40 acres timber within 200 yards and another 15 acres timber within 200 yards, one on each side. There is corn on one side of the creek. When i walked it there were about 5 or six apple trees along the creek, spanning 2oo yards. No tracks thanks for 2 inches of rain the night before. There is also other oaks and such on 10 yards of each side of the creek. Does this sound like an early season hot spot?? Im thinkin of puttin my camera out to see if there using it alot.

Bears love them also
