Cool video. I used rice bran a lot when I still had my place just out of Lampasas. I have not used it on my new lease between Comfort and Kerrville yet but in Lampasas, we had the exact opposite of what your video showed. The coons would not go near it at all and the doe were ok with it and would eat it at times but sometimes not......The bucks though....they came out of the woodwork to get this stuff. They would ignore the corn and ignore the protein feeder as well, they simply preferred the rice bran. I cannot say whether it ATTRACTED them or not but I can tell you they loved it. I even have pics somewhere that shows the buck laying down in the feed pen, in the pile of rice bran and eating it while they were laying in it.
I used plain rice bran and the peanut-butter flavored rice bran. They loved both and did not seem to prefer one flavor to the other
We have put it out a couple times, and the deer only touched it because they walked through it. Not wasting my money on that or molasses power again.
Last time we used a 50# bag it was still there for 6 weeks until we left and hand corn was replaced every few days.
I have had great luck with rice bran powder late season! End of year I always put a few piles and cams out to see what bucks have made it through the season.

Yeah it probably doesn't attract them. But if they like it and its cheap. Why not use it!
if you are going to tout it as attracting deer, I think you'd have to get it away from other feed sources to show that deer will actually seek it out in your area. Eating it bc it happens to already be in the area with corn and maybe even putting their nose it in bc they are trying to root out the corn that got thrown on top of it is not conclusive IMHO.

I realize that the title has the word attract in it but I guess you didn't watch the whole video because I addressed that in the video.
