I used to hunt next to a apple orchird ,till the price of apples fell and it was dozed. A great draw , It was bordered on the back side by a old fence line and CPR . I put stands up in the fence line , just had to pick the right stand for the night ,deer entered close to the target tree. Boy is it tough to watch 30 deer with 2-3 good bucks go in 10-20 yds out of range. Like and other site pick a (few) funnels and target them. Apple fed deer is good eating!

Yea here is a tip.............go kill em!!!:D Apple orchards are a natural bait, they work great for me, do hunt too close or all those deer will see u if u get busted and will never be the hot spot anymore, they will only come at night.

Orchards are great places to hunt. deer love them. We have 5 or 6 crab apple trees and the deer nail them.

We have deer in the apples all times of the day and even when we run them out they will come right back . Makes a good place to hunt .

Well here is an apple question, will the deer only eat the apples after they are ripe?

RE: apple orchird
 

most the time Taz they wait till they are ripe,

RE: apple orchird
 

They eat them both ways around here ,they do go after them more when they are ripe ,but we see them pull green apples off the trees all the time .

One Evening a couple of deer hit my fathers apple trees that were just of age to develop those real sour green aples that are kinda good to eat. Well the next morning, my father is in my room yelling at b/c he said I destroyed his apple trees. A couple of years later my father actually caught some deer eating the apples late at night. He finally said he was sorry. I tease him even today about that. Its pretty funny how mischievous I must have been for my father to yell at me about that.
