Deer cane
 
has anyone else used the deer cane product? Iput the pre mixed one in the woods and man did the ground get ripped up. I was thinking of using the powder mix yourself one for cost reasons but 2 other people I talked to said they didnt have much luck with that particular one. so I would love to here some feed back on the powder form of deer cane Thanks

Works great. I have a hole in WV that is a good 2 ft deep. I use the powder to get it started, then the liquid to maintain.

Best bet it to pour it on something like a rotted stump that's cut pretty close to the ground. If you can't find something like that, just scrape the ground bare and pour it into the dirt. Basically it's a bunch of minerals with some molassas or similar mixed in. It soaks into the ground, and the deer will be attracted by the scent initially, and then by the taste. They'll paw and chew up the ground and any roots until they can't taste it anymore...typically you'll end up with a hole that'sa couple feet deep. It is considered a deer attractant and is treated the same as salt licks or baiting, so you'll have to be careful with your game laws. Personally, I don't see that the deer can get enough useful minerals from it to be beneficial to them, and the only benefit you get as a hunter is finding out what deer are in the area.

I've had really good luck with deer cane. I usually mix mine with a blend of Whitetail's 30-60 mineral mix. It's kinda like putting whipcream on top of a banana split...

THe deer behind my house didn't really care for thedeer cane, but put out some Buck Grub, or mossy oaks biologic hot spot and they demolish the ground.

I tried deercane a few years ago. Worked great and got all of the deer hooked. Next thing you know the dealers start moving. With the dealers came the crime. Now I have wardens patroling my property 24/7. I'll neveruse that stuff again.

I've had good luck with it but in alot of spots that I put out in late summer/early fall, it wasn't touched till the next year. I don't think they have any use for it come October but they will tear it up in the summer! ( I use the powder form).

What type of soil makes a difference also. A harder clay soil is the best. I have some spots that have been out now for 3 years and there's an area the size of a truck bed tore up.

Deer Cane
 
Last year I scraped up a 2 foot area and mixed up 1/2 the concentrate bag and 2 weeks later mixed up the other 1/2 bag. Put it out next to a corn pile. Got several deer visiting on camera and while in the stand. Didn't make a kill. Hadn't been back since season ended, stopped by yesterday...WOW!! It is now a 5 foot circle dug down about 9 inches. Set up another location today, hope to get the same results.
