Like others have said, apples are hard to beat.  I've gotten bt to eat corn but if there's no apples they won't stay long.  Now if i could just get them to be there in the daylight.

That is if you can keep the bears from eating them first.. :chuckle:

For some reason I haven't seen any bears. We saw a massive one out behind our house like 4 years ago. Probably around 500 pounds. We were both on the ground though and could see only his head. No shot. I see poop in other areas of the woods but none where I am.

Any tips on tracking down apples?  I'm on the west side near Sumner.

I found some at my family property, but those are used up by now. So I've got the same problem you do. I would just ask around. Go into a local feed store and see if they have some cheap apples. Or ask if they know any orchards in the area. Then ask the orchards for all their bad or wormy apples. That's what I'm gonna do.
