RE: What to use to attract deer? Scents, corn etc...
I seem to have pretty good luck with the first time use of Ticks "Draw 2" deer courisity scent. Usually draws in bucks this time of year. Once you use it in one spot and a buck comes, I would consider it to be the last use at that stand for the year. I think scents work the first time if there are deer and that is what they want to smell. If that is not want they want to smell, I figure you are ruining your hunt.
I NEVER see a doe with that stuff blowing around. They must hate it even though it says attracts both. Acorns work better, but use what you can.
