What are you using for Bait
WE have been using corn so far and was thinking of adding in some apples,
Not sure if that is right thing to do....by adding thi sin woul dit negatively impact the deers movement?
Any one using apples now as most of the apples are off the tree?

I gave deer hunting a break for a couple of years but when the snow hit the ground I would used alfalfa cubes. I had pics of deer going under the snow for them. You could buy a big bag at a farm co-op store. It wouldn't hurt to use apples

Walking around my property I found the deer have been feeding on the wild apples actively. From what I have seen in the past, they like to wait until they are a little frozen and the sugar content is higher.

I've found that the best thing to bait deer is to set my bow down and pour a coffee.

Pooping in the woods always worked for me! Nice thing about apples, is the partridge have difficulty carrying them away.

Deer in 92B don't hit bait. Too much food around!
