It works great here in PA for me , the deer dig monster freakin holes where i put it ... i usually put it out about a month before season here , thats all your allowed , and they still dig up and eat the dirt up until and including season! it seeps into the ground and they literally eat the dirt for it! I have only seen one small doe ever actually come to it , but the holes left at it tell me more come at hours wehn im not around! id recommend it!
