We've never had any problems.out where we hunt your luck if a persimmon tree will grow.we have slot of blackjack trees on the sides of the hills.
I read some where that if a deer did not have apples in their normal range, and you used whole apples around the feeder, they did not know what a whole apple was - no attraction.
Not apple juice or cut apples - just throwing out whole apples.
Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Last year I got several 5 gallon buckets full of apples and threw them by my feeder and deer cam over a 3-4 week period.
What I found out.......unless deer are raised near apple trees, they pretty much won't touch the things. They would hammer the corn and leave the apples. I got more pictures of squirrel and raccoons hauling off with the apples than anything. EXCEPT one yearling buck would come in EVERY evening and eat about half a dozen apples or so, and that was it.
Granted deer might not act like this everywhere, but I found out real quick that the deer in my area would much rather have corn than apples when presented with both.
