We determined the attractiveness of a bait composed of apple juice, apple odor, water, glycerin, and salt to captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) at the National Zoological Park Conservation and Research Center, Front Royal, Virginia, USA. Thirty-nine deer (three adult males, 20 adult females, eight male fawns, eight female fawns) were presented with the bait formulation in a 22-ha enclosure during January, February, and May 1994. Daily consumption, and the frequency of visits to bait dispensers and the frequency of drinking bouts were recorded. Overall consumption was greatest in May (P < 0.001). While adults and fawns visited bait dispensers equally often, fawns drank more frequently (P < 0.001).
在美国弗吉尼亚州弗兰特罗亚尔国家动物园保护与研究中心，我们测定了一种由苹果汁、苹果气味、水、甘油和盐组成的诱饵对圈养白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚鹿）的吸引力。1994年1月、2月和5月，在一个22公顷的围栏内，向39只鹿（3只成年雄性、20只成年雌性、8只雄性幼鹿、8只雌性幼鹿）投放了这种诱饵配方。记录了每日的消耗量、前往诱饵投放器的频次以及饮水次数。总体消耗量在5月最大（P < 0.001）。虽然成年鹿和幼鹿前往诱饵投放器的频次相同，但幼鹿饮水更频繁（P < 0.001）。
