I've been watching YouTube videos of guys making homemade deer attractants. Most recipes consist of sugar, jello, salt, peanut butter etc. They all claim you will save money by buying these ingredients and making it yourself but by the time you buy all of the ingredients you have spent just as much money if not more than buying the store bought attractants.

I can scent ~400lbs +\- of corn and the aerial cover around feed with a bottle of each. It really doesnt take much…I apply more than necessary. Fat kids come running.

I spray the trees and leaves too to throw the scent upwards…not just down on the ground.
It really doesnt take much. A tablespoon of syrup and a tablespoon of vanilla in a 24oz bottle filled with water goes really far.
Good luck MrSoldier.
