RE: feeder attractant
The only way I have seen pelleted deer feed work is in a covered trough type of feeder. Anything but corn in a spin feeder I have tried just lays there and rots and the last corn I put in a spin feeder aborbed or had too much moisture in it that it molded and rotted in the feeder. If I mix soybeans with corn in with the beans, the beans rot to the extent that the corn then rots and nothing eats it but possums, coons, birds and coyotes. I think 50% or more of the feed put out is eat by something other than deer.
