i tried a couple different times to use the deer block with the corn and molassas and oats in it but they wouldnt touch it at all. i use to buy horse sweet mix which is a mixture of corn molassas and i think alphalpha oats. its lighter and cheaper than bagged corn butthey didnt seem to like that too much either. then a guy told me that the oats in it go bad quickly and get mold when thrown on the ground and the deer know that it is gonna get them sick.
