Need quick attractant
On new lease this yr, and haven't had much time to be out in the woods, only twice. Have found an area I want to set up in, and wondering if I should put something out to help bring them in, or is it too late. I usually put out corn feeders in the summer, but did not get on this place until Sept, then couldn't get out to look it over until recently due to work/weather. Would corn or a molasses block work, buck jam, peanut butter, etc... I know there are a lot of hogs on the place, and I really don't want the hogs to be hanging around much in deer season. Would anything I put out to attract the deer also attract the hogs? Maybe I should just put out the deer estrous type scents so that I don't have the hogs up the stand with me. 
Any thoughts?

the best thing i have found was by accident, go to a feed store and get some all grain sweet feed, pour it out, i fed a friend of mines horses once for a week and the deer where standing there waiting on it, i guess its the molasses, but they love it.

The pigs will be around during Deer season. . . .you see one shoot it, let it lay and wait for your Deer, could end up with a 2fer. . . . If you already have good traffic in your area just get your feeder going and it will only take a few days before the critters start doing drivebys.
As for preferred treats. . .I tried lots of stuff, plain ole corn will do fine.

hey eddie behind the house i put it out in piles to start with, now i spread a little out, wife loves to watch'em, i've also put in some plots. the problem i was having with corn is it was molding before being eaten, i think the smell of the sweet feed brought em in though, just my thoughts though.
