RE: Peanut Butter??
all that ate mine was coons.the deer didn' t get a chance to eat it.
I heard you buy it in the plastic jars,nail the lid to a tree and cut the bottom out of the jar and screw it back onto the lid.
that works good if I could keep the coon away.[:@]

RE: Peanut Butter??
I' ve done it in past years. Only takes 5 days or so for the can to be gone. Deer, coon, squirrels, just about anything will take a turn. The only way I' ve heard to have it exclusively for deer is to find an open spot that squirrels can' t jump to. Take a pvc pipe, put a slinky over the outside of it and cut a small piece of plywood and screw it to the top of the pipe. Then put the PB on top of that. Never tried it but it sounds like a good idea. The slinky is supposed to keep squirrels from scurying up the pipe.

RE: Peanut Butter??
Ive had good luck with it in areas that plant alot of peanuts. I would buy the big gallon size cheap stuff and smear it on leaves a few feet above the ground. The deer ( and coons) loved it. I dont do it anymore though. Too messy and time consuming. The area I hunt now is non agricultural and the deer dont seem to be interested in it.

RE: Peanut Butter??
I tried it once and attracted every squirrel and coon in the county to my stand. I' m not saying a deer won' t eat it but i' ve never seen one eat it. I' ll tell you what i have used that i know they will eat. There is a peanut plant near my home and they have alot of scraps left over from processing the peanuts and you can buy the scraps for a couple of bucks per 100lb bag. It' s a mixture of peanuts, peanut hulls and lots of salt. I' ve never seen or killed a big buck that was eating the stuff but i' m sure they do because i' ve seen smaller bucks and does beat a path to it and litterally tear up the ground where i poured it. I usually find an old stump that is somewhat hollow and just pour it in the stump and the deer will just about dig the stump up when it' s gone. I don' t know if it' s the peanuts they' re after or the salt. I do know they will eat peanut plants and i' ll hunt a peanut field over a bean or corn field anyday.
