RE: deer attractant
I have used quite a few different attractants over the years . I started with the Buck Grub and the deer liked it ok but have found they prefer the Buck Bran that is made by Wildgame Innovations. I also use the Cutting Edge vitamin mineral supplements that is made by the Whitetail Institute. I use these products around my scouting cameras and as long as I keep putting it out the deer tear it up. IF you don't mind the initial expense, put out a bag of several different things and the deer will show you which they prefer. Different deer like different things and maybe your deer prefer something else. Good luck.
