One thing that you need to realize is that your location can have a huge effect on how "baits" work. The deer here in SC aren't used to apples because there are none. So, if I tried this product and it didn't work for the first time, would I be surprised? No.

If I were you I would have mixed it in with some corn at first. Get the deer used to it. And just because "your" deer don't like it doesn't mean its a bad product.

Perfect example is their BuckJam.

I have one tract of land where I use about ten gallons of it a year. The go crazy over it. Another tract of land just a short ride away they won't touch it.
