I hunt here in Ohio and everyone told me to put out apples, and carrots, and corn, and persimmons. Well I put out all that and the deer ate only.............the corn. I talked to a friend who has a lot of expierence and he said don't give them anything foreign. So I'm somewhere in the middle. Instead of plain corn, I mix some buck jam or something with it, to give it a little aroma for the deer to find easier. I'm still looking to find the best bait to give the deer to hang out on the property for a bit.
