Home made deer block?

[bar2hunter]

I've made some homemade deer blocks this year and they seem to work well.
Deer haven't touched my feeder, put a block 40-50 yds. from my feeder and watched 3 trotting does stop and take turns eating off the block while others were keeping an eye on a young buck on their trail. I was shocked to see this.

I mixed the following ingredients together and put it in the cheap aluminum foil bread pans to bake.

- 2 cups feed corn (add more if needed to help absorb everything)
- 1 cup peanut butter, melt in pan on stove or microwave before adding
- 1 1/2 cups corn meal (add more if needed to help absorb everything)
- 1 cup coarse sea salt (any type of salt works)
- 1 cup grape Kool Aid
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup (add more if mixture is too dry)

I usually mix all dry ingredients first, then pour in the peanut butter and syrup.
Try to make sure all dry ingredients are coated well and press mixture into foil pans that are coated with cooking oil or crisco, so it won't stick to the pans.
I bake two 4X6 in. foil pans at 250 for about 6 hrs. then set them out for a day to cool down and harden up.

Did this today. Think they turned out pretty well. Note--dark because I used molasses instead of maple syrup.
