Get a fence... it's easier. [&:] Can't bait here, but in Maryland I used to feed them in my yard just to watch them. No hunting there. GMMAT is correct, they absolutely love RAW peanuts in the shell... it's just they'll run you a lot of money. I used to mix it with corn, about 4 to 1 just to give them a snack. The first deer in every afternoon went from pile to pile and ate all the peanuts first.
