    Deer and apples?

    Will deer eat green (unrippened) apples? With the dry weather I have seen a few trees that were loaded but dropping alot of apples already. Didnt look to be much bigger than golf balls. I was gonna pick them up but didnt know if it was a waste of time or not!
    Thanks Guys!

    I agree, they will eat them. But, I think they like them to be ripe because of the sweetness. I would guess that due to the dry conditions they may be having a hard time finding food that they like, so the green apples are the best thing in the area. I don't think they would make a good attractaint once it rains and the grass softens up, or the acorns start falling.
    You got 3 seconds to get out of my house or die trying.
