    Deer attractants?

    1) What deer attractants are you using this year?
    2) what have you used past years that have worked?
    3) what have you used past years that have not worked?

    lets here it! Other then corn!!!

    For me Acorn Rage & feeder fire have worked good mixed with in the corn, in the feeder but i havent found any of the liquid like the Molasses, and the deer cane to work allways put in frount of the game cam and they never touch them! looking for something that I have to come put out evry other day and to put out right before i get in the stand!
    thanks, Matt

    We have used Acorn Rage a few times mixed in the feeders with corn. Seems to work. .

      I'm interested in this as well. I was considering using Acorn Rage Juiced.

        I have been using Black Magic on COE land for the past few years and have thousands of pics of deer using it especially this time of year. They have actually dug a hole at one of my spots during the off season trying to get everything they can out of it. Seems to work best if its diluted. I mix one bottle in a 5 gallon bucket of water and carry it out as often as possible during the summer months. Pour or spray it out onto something that they can eat whether its an old log/stump or just grass and/or leaves and set up your cam. HG

            They may just not be craving the mineral like the deer around here. IDK thats strange. Im getting anywhere from 400-1000 pics per 2-4 weeks on public land. Keep trying different things I guess until you find something that they seem to prefer over everything else. Good Luck!

                I have also had good results with sweetfeed that you can get at the feed store for horses. Its just protein, corn, oats and molasses but I havent used it in a feeder. Its pretty sticky and may cause problems with the spinner. I can get it here in town for cheaper than corn and its 12% I believe.

                  I've used everything over the years & nothing works on all deer except corn.IMO Try planting different things and see if you can find something they like besides corn.

                      Last year I used the Acorn Rage that was in pellet form that you are supposed to add to your feeder with corn. I put small piles out with my hand tossed corn. The deer would walk around through the corn to get the Acorn Rage.

                        I've recently conducted my own research in east Tx Anderson county and in central Tx Mills county. The results revealed the deer love the new blueberry/wild berry block made by record rack/sportsmans choice 33lb block, swamp donkey non-pellet poured on logs, and the new primos red spot. With the deer in mills county eating 1/2 to 3/4 of the block in one week.

                          I AM HOOKED ON SWAMP DONKEY. 10 BUCKS AT WALMART FOR A 6LB BAG. ONCE IT IS GONE YOU CAN TAKE A RAKE AND WET IT DOWN WITH WATER TO RE-IGNITE THE ATTRACTANT. THIS WAS A PICTURE 3 DAYS AFTER I FIRST STARTED USING IT BACK IN THE 2ND WEEK OF JULY. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS OUT THERE DIGGIN A DITCH WITH A SHOVEL!!!

                              I use BB2 from Big and J. I like the results. As for price you cant beat it I get a 20# bag for 16$ at Bass Pro. Compared to other products that cost 8 & 10 buck for 6# to 10#. I also put out Chaffhaye for the Axis. I put it in a hay sack like you would put hay in for horses, but the whitetail eat it also. Another thing I use is the liquid Come er Deer in the pump up sprayer. I originally bought the kit to get the sprayer and now I just get the concentrate and mix it up the the sprayer. That stuff works I've seen deer lick bark on a dead tree. I will also use Acorns n Raged and it works good.
                              One thing I want to try this year is Red Spot from Premos. But it will more than like work just as good and the new Crush stuff from Wildgame Innovations.
                              Just my 2cents...
