Squirrels will get them too...I had to kill at least 3dozen squirrels to get enough so we had enough to use.
They eat the apples before they are ripe and they just keep at them till they all are gone.

Update, One of my Dolgo's wilted early and I tried watering it to no avail. I scratch tested it an its dead. It never did more than the initial leaf out for the spring growth all year. Willis nursery will replace it, but the $19 shipping is still got to be paid.
They also said to order Mycorrhizal Fungi for planting the bare rooted trees. The girl told me they highly recommend it and I said "Why doesn't your site say that and add it as an option on the same page?"
Not much was said after that. Paid for my shipping and Fungi.

The bears got my apples long before they were ready to drop for the deer this fall. They broke a crap load of really nice branches too.

Going to look into persimmon trees for the deer in my yard.

Yes. It needs to put it's strength toward growth not reproduction.
So let me get this clear....OP wants to plant apple trees for deer. Is that so the deer can eat the trees or the potential apples it may produce. 
In my experience, deer will eat the damn trees unless well protected.

I didn't plant a tree, but have an apple salt brick on standby

I pulled 82 apples off that little tree. Hopefully 5 more years, some fertilizer and the deer will be in my way.
