    I did not stage the deer in the pics. I walked out the back door to get a few more and they were looking for handouts. I throw reject apples outside the fence by the bushel. They like that a lot.

    Certainly looks as if all your efforts are paying off nicely. Very impressive. I gotta go to the fridge for a apple!

    Agreed! It's amazing what they leave behind. Then again, it's not useful/profitable to them.

    I've eaten lots of apples and many kinds but have never found any apple that could beat a mac!

    How high of a fence do you use . 5 feet isn't enough here. They'll shove their heads into concrete reinforcement screening to get at strawberries and hostas and push it to bend it to get at what they want. Only time I've had 5 foot fence 'work' was when they had no landing spot on the other side. (grape vines and the grape vine trellising may have messed with their vision judgement)
    Those ripening apples hanging there must smell wonderful to them.

    The only effective fencing is 8' high tensile deer fencing.

    I bought the fencing used from a deer farm that went out of business when the chronic DSCF0003.JPG DSCF0004.JPG DSCF0006.JPG wasting disease scare ruined the meat market. Had to take it all down, remove staples which was over a 5 gallon pail, pull posts and then roll up fencing and haul four sixteen foot gates home. Then reinstalled all the posts by hand with a Seymore post hole digger putting each in the ground 42". Did it all by myself but had help putting up the wire and stretching.

    Really? Have you tried Honeycrisp, Zestar, Pizazz?

    Wed. I am meeting with the guy who created Pizazz and buying a gigantic 8' fiberglass apple from him to move to my place. It is really cool.

    I have Buckeye Gala and seldom even pick them. They are on the endangered list and most likely will go.
