Default RE: Deer Attractant Tests

1. Has any of you done any type of study on different attractants in your area?
2. Do you feel the criteria I set up is fair for rating the attractant?
1. Not on "different" attractants....other than my minerals and a corn/peanut mix.

During the summer (antler growing and fawn rearing months).....they tear the crap out of my minerals. Other times of the year.....I don't think it gets frequented, that much. I would "think" your results on these products would be "seasonal". Also.....if I'm going ot put out minerals....I shy away from heavily slat-laden (only) products. if I'm gonna provide something.....they may as well get a benefit from it. I also put it in the ground.....which is their natural way of receiving said.

As far as supplemental feed/"bait" as an attractant.....you just can't beat a corn'peanut blend. They will devour it.

2. Your criteria is "fair" if you look at it as "seasonal".....and weigh your results with that in mind.

Good stuff.
