Apples will draw them from greater distances. I take a few and smear them about 4 or 5 feet off the ground to really get the scent of the apples in the air. mixture of corn and apples seems to be the best overall bait. the protien feed is also really good.

I have had good sized bucks come into the apples, not so with the corn, although if you just want to shoot a deer, they linger longer with the corn if you spread it out. There grazing animals, they are more comfortable milling around while they eat. They eat a couple apples, then there out, they dont linger as long. Corn is easier to transport to then the apples.

I've put out corn and apples right next to each other. The corn disappeared, and the apples were ignored.
