Default RE: deer attractant

i hunt a area of texas that is loaded with acorn,rock, and cactus. we keep feeders going year around .we have never seen a deer at the feeders while hunting.we were beginning to wonder just how many deer were really there.we had tried every kind of attractant we could buy.there were just does and horses on our cam.i saw a tv show that used buck grub. i had never used it. i put it on the ground and also added it to my corn feeders.it says it takes about 2 weeks to get the deer coming in. the first week i saw just one doe. the next weekend i got my film developed.we were using buck grub at 2 seperate feeders.when i got the film developed i almost fainted. there were 3 huge bucks at one feeder. the other feeder had 1 big buck, 2 spikes, and several doe.needless to say we were stoked.we continued to see the deer. for some dumb reason we quit using the buck grub. the deer disappeared.. we did harvest one nice buck,154,20" spread,205 lbs. the one pic i took had this buck and 2 others with at least 24" spreads.
our feeders were pretty slow thru the summer.i finally added the buck grub again and they are back. i usually do not believe the bs but this is one that actually works.i have a buddy in east texas that did not see many deer. he is now using buck grub and has many deer around. not sure why this works but it does.i have a 25lb bag sitting in my living room waiting to be used in the morning
