I finally dumped my frozen apples yesterday. I watched all evening and saw nothing, but this morning, there were 2 huge does and a smaller doe up there eating them. (I can see them with my binoculars.)
So I went back up after they had got scared off and dumped today's pack. They had eaten over half the apples (I dumped extra yesterday) and the apples that were left are brown, but I picked one up and it is still edible, as opposed to total mush, so I'm satisfied since I plan on dumping them on a daily basis.
I'm going to try and take a page out of mrex's book and dump them early enough every day that the deer (not necessarily a buck) come in by dark to ensure they get some of them.
