Sunset. That's a good question, and I have tried it a couple times.

Actually, I have not found it effective except in one situation...We have a feeder in the yard at our camp. We don't shoot deer there, but we watch them. I generally don't put out soybeans and corn except in the late summer through the early spring. When I first put them out, sometimes the deer don't find them right away, so I douse the ground with apple juice to bring the deer in. Then they find the feed and the feast is on.

I tried the same thing years ago around a couple stands and had no luck at all.
