I wondering where the rain was too. Nothing but dry in my part of Texas. I grew up stocking game but as was said most places I hunt don't alow it. To hunt I have too hunt their way or not at all. No apples where I hunt but, a lot of persimmions.

Illegal here in Indiana.

Mix apple cyder with your corn .... you will have to beat the deer off with a stick ... of course Ive never hunted over it

I don't think I want to beat the deer off with anything. Now my brother in law raises deer, he may want to.

I have used apples but not as much during the season. I start to put them out about 10-14 days before the season opens. Once it is opened. I only put about 4-6 apples per day at the stand. Some days I don't put any. Imainly do itto scout out the area I hunt to seewhat is moving around. Gives me a good idea of the deer in the area.
I sometimes take a bucket of water mixed with sugar and thenput the apples in that mixtureovernight and then dump the whole thing on the ground. I have had times where the deer tear up the dirt from the sweetwater/sugar mixture soaking in the ground.
