we spent a few days at the coast and come home expecting to have a few apples on the ground, well, we were pleasantly surprised not to find any, but, we know what happened to them. Caught them red haired in broad daylight....
In Montana the Mulies are notorious for coming into town to get their fill of apples. I have heard stories about them getting drunk off the ones that have been on the ground for a while. A local priest in Helena said they would run him back into his house when he would try to chase them away from his apple trees.
