There are many great products on the market that will give the deer a variety of flavors, apple persimmon acorn are generally the top ones. Even if you don't have any of these naturally in your area, the deer will love you for putting them out. Sugar beets is another. (which you can purchase crushed in a bag. Anything molasses flavored is another. Some of these you make a lick in the ground and some are best poured over an old stump.

If it is legal in your area and you are game for feeding it to the deer or even hunting over it, then by all means, give it a try, it doesn't make you any less of a hunter...................Period! Food on the table is the main objective.
