I live in Illinois, where there is tons of corn and soybeans...what I have found that works really good is the Deer Cane. It says to pre mix with water, but I just dump it out and it works just fine. In2 weeks since putting it out the deer created a 10' depression about 4-5 inches deep. and my trail camera was tripped 70 times, thats why I need to upgrade from 35mm to Digital with SD card, but I don't want to hang $300.00 in a tree for some loser to come take it.
