Cloud 9,

No, I did not follow the instructions exactly. For one I did not put the whole bag out in one application. I used gallon milk jugs and mixed the solution together just prior to heading out into the woods. I think they recommend that you either do not mix it at all (powder form) or that you mix it with water from a nearby stream or creek just prior to the application.

After experimenting with the Deer Cocane last year I found that the location is the absolute key to its effectiveness. If the soil is too stony/porous then the DC just leeches right out of it and the deer pay little attention to it. My suggestion is to find relatively fertile looking soil....next to a creek bed for example....or relatively close to one and go from there. The location was approximately 10 feet off of a trail that ran right past the tree that I sit in.

I am very excited to put the stealth out next weekend as well.
