I seen on anothe forums last year where a few guys from different states placed Acorn Rage in front of trail cams.... just to see what it would attract. After 1 week, only1 deer had even stopped to smell the stuff. Looked like total gimmick, imho.

The powder stuff seems ok but the screw-on thing is crap.

I tried some in front of my cameras last year. After six weeks I went back to check them and the acorn rage was still on the ground, looked pretty much untouched. In all the deer pics I got on that cam they were pretty much just walking by, ignoring it. You want a great attractant, try a product called Lucky Buck. I've used it in front of my cameras for 4yrs. now and the stuff is dynamite.

I've used it on our club land last year. I dumped 2 bags on a pile about midday and then returned to hunt a trail leading to it. I had 2 small bucks go to it and eat for at least 10 mins. When I went back the next day it was gone. These deer have been fed everything under the sun at one point or another in our attempts to see what put on the most weight, helped the lactating does, helped increase birth weight, and of course rack size. Those deer will try almost anything and are used to food magically appearing where it never had before. A wild deer on public lands may not be drawn to it as easily.
