Has anyone been doing any experiments with attractants?

I have bought bb2 piled it by my feeder only to see the piles mold n rot as the deer walk past and eat the corn.. wouldn't recommend..I did this at multiple spots in front of cameras a few ate at it a lil but not much.

This is the first negative response I've seen on BB2. Thanks for posting.

I would live to know your results with rice bran. Last year I went to a feed store and bought 2 50# sacks of rice bran. I poured out piles and that stuff sat there and rotted. Please post your results. I have heard of different flavors. Mine was plain.

Any other experimentation experts have anything to add since season for most of is done? What did you have the best results with this season?

I have used BB2 and they snort it like coke, and I have also used Buck Nut, by Insight Nutrition new company out there located here inTexas they have a wide variety of Attractants.

They do not work. Period. Do not waste your money. 20 years ago in Llano I tried it all and they walked right past it to get to the corn. I have lived in Wimberley for 10 years...experimented with all of it in my front yard....nothing.

I mean, if you put it by your feeder they might actually eat it because they are already there but it is not gonna "bring em in" from two miles away.

I have good luck with buck candy! I'll put a little in a 50 pound bag of corn and shake it up. Where ever the bag gets emptied I tend to see the most deer chowing down on that spot first.
This guy was tearing it up! I also had several other bucks eating on Corn mixed with buck candy. Now I know there is corn mixed with it but the hot spot seemed to be where the bag was emptied.

Franks deer pee took over this year. Iam waiting to hear how that is still working of if it did at all.

It worked great for my father in Montgomery county when it was fresh.
I sprayed an active scrape with it after the morning hunt and that evening he had two runt does show up at his feeder that kept looking at the treeline, like they often do- but normally they walk off and nothing happens. This time though- I firmly believe, thanks to the doe in heat this buck stepped out after the does had moved off. He smelled where they were then walked to the scrape smelled the ground them walked back to where they were standing and met a .308 marlin express.

Antler restriction are paying off this year on that lease big time.

I messed up and didn't refrigerate the Franks doe pee after that week hunt in ET and when used later in Menard it provided no benefit but to get some jr bucks pushing does harder than they'd prefer.

Where did you get it & how much does it cost?

Franks deer pee was ordered online from their website. $10 buck a bottle plus $2.00 shipping.

This stuff's smell lingers for a while, like after the hunt you can still smell it in the area it was sprayed when walking in.

I forgot to add that on an different hunt the only deer he saw was walking away from the bush I sprayed it on when I dropped him off. (knowing him he was probably waking up in time to see the rump walk away).

Poor results using BB2. I tried mixing it with corn in the feeder and also by putting out a BB2 block. I would not give .50 cents for a tractor trailer load of BB2. Seems the deer where I hunt prefer plain corn.

Sitting in my blind as we speak, I had 4 does at first light, right after The feeder went off, they cleaned up then bedded down 30 yards from the feeder, when it went off again at 8, all 4 simultaneously got up and literally ran back to the feeder! My trick, packs of jello! Strawberry, cherry, just anything fruity! Kool aid works well so! When the wind is right I can smell it from my stand 125 yards away! Oh, and it's cheap as heck!

Thanks. One of the few negative comments on BB2.

Interesting.
