This WILL work but one thing to remember is that deer are smart and "generally" know the area, so if there is not any apples close they know it, if there is wild apples around get ready cause they will come...this will work with everything too...cherries,persimmons,blackberries,etc.(what works is what is in the area) I seen deer lick the maple sap from maple trees quite a few times and experimented with store brand maple syrup, that works too, although there are better "substitutes" Just remember that 100% juice works 110% better than the "made from concentrate" stuff...
In no way of knocking hunting videos(I love em) "most" of em are done on land where people generally do certain things like spraying apple cider before pouring out corn in big piles everyday....just like a farm pond where you feed catfish everynight using puppychow, dont you think you have the best chance of catching catfish at night using puppychow? so same scenario big buck smell apple cider, big buck come for corn, big buck get shot on camera for huntin' video :-)
If it is legal to bait (it is in Kentucky as long as its not on a WMA or for turkey) throw out apples every few days and then carry your juice hunting, that too will work....they have to be "expecting" it to come for it...and that is not set in stone, Hunting is a learning experience try everything.
This is off the topic but I read in an Outdoor Life years ago that if you RUN through the woods and climb your stand real fast that deer will come being their curious selves and see what the commotion was...I thought it was absurd and told my Dad about it, and he thought it sounded logical saying to me"What if someone come crashing through your house, wouldn't you like to see what it was?" so I tried it, and sure nuff it wasn't 10 min. I had 5 deer from 3 directions trying to see what just came through there and why....never be skeptical, at least not till you prove it wrong.
