Default Getting deer in range

I have been collecting apples from an apple tree close to my house and throwing them in front of my trail cam to see whats in the area. I have a bunch of deer coming through but all in the middle of the night. How do i get the deer to come in earlier so that when bow season comes i will be able to get a shot?

Don't take this the wrong way.....but stop empowering them to eat at night. If baiting is legal......get a feeder that will dispense after daylight in the morning......and a small amount 2+ hours before dark. make 'em compete with other deer if they want a free meal.

Just a suggestion.

You might want to try actually HUNTING, your suppose to look for sign, find they're trails, and determine where they eat and bed and so forth.
Just my 2 cents
