We tried pb before with minimal success.We tied a 8" stick to a limb with a piec of 20lb mono.,and hung it about 3ft above the ground,then stuck the stick in the pb,and just let the stick hang in the air coated with pb.Sometimes they will walk over and lick it,most of the time they just smelled it.We tried the vanilla with no success yet.This is the deep south so there's no telling what your deer will like.
