My only experience was a few weeks ago in bow season I put some deer attractant out under my climber and down at the feeder. My moms dog waddled up and followed my trial I walked in on then rolled in the spot I put out the attractant in and went back to the house to flop up on the couch to go back to sleep I am sure.
I now call it dog attractant.
I did see 5 deer that day and all but the fawn stayed away from where I was at but the white acorns were all about. THe deer have stopped hitting my feeder and I keep it out and feeding 12 months of the year with corn. I am sure I feed more squirells and rabbits than deer tho.
