Honestly had family get me a few for presents but I am skeptical on whether they work.
When hunting i try to set up so the deer cant wind me. Not set up and hope to entice one from down wind. I dont think it will work unless its the estrus and rut, might convince them its worth it.
The beat or acorn im not sure as i got dozens of oaks and the deer already know they are there (Acorns i mean) so what would the smell really do. Making it more fragrant i dont think will convince them to eat earlier. Beats really not sure it could be like a salt lick it being a more unique thing. All in all i treat these the same as the powders or a pile of corn. The deer will come when they come it wont bring them any earlier but it will entice them to a particular spot no different then a pile of bait.
Except the estrus one or dominate buck one those may entice a deer to move which is a natural reaction.
