Default RE: Buck Jam - I'm sold

ORIGINAL: blondiez24

I have been reading this and had to try it. I bought some last week. I had a corn pile behind my house with the camera over it. It is right around persimmon trees, so I bought the persimmon flavor. I put it all over the corn. I got a few pictures the first night, then nothing. They will not touch the corn. I was getting 60 pictures a night and replaceing the 50 pound corn piles every day. Now it is like there is hardly any deer there. maybe 5 pictures a night. I don't know if it doesn't mix well with corn or what. I tried the c'mere deer last yearand they ate the corn like normal, nothing excessive. This is really weird though usually 50 pounds of corn rarely last a day around here, let alone a week. I am going to put corn out right beside the buck jam corn, and see if they eat it over the other.
You have disrupted the deers patterns. If all you have been feeding them is corn, they most likely were timid to come around with the introduction of a completely different food source. My guess is it will take you a decent amount of time to attract the same amount of deer until they become used to what your trying to attract them with.
