I wonder how many of the bashers on here have actually spent any time around tame, penned up deer. If you know of anyone that raises deer, you'd be advised to spend a little time observing them.


Bring along your deer attracting scents doe urine, curiosity, apple, acorn, corn, etc... see how the deer react to them. Now try some licorice, Skittles, molasses, pancake syrup, potatoe chips, grape jelly, peanutbutter, raisens,etc...I know a guy that raises deer and it is amazing what you can learn. They go nuts over the sweet foods people eat.

Deer have a sweet tooth. They love the stuff. As far as the buck eating the Skittles, yeah, it probably did. As far as buying bags of Skittles and using them for bait, I don't know about doing that. Too expensive and will probably attract raccoons and black bear.

I'm not using the skittels anymore. But I am spreading peanut butter around a spot about 20 yards off of my tree stand. I'm trying a lot of the things Windwalker said.

I'm with WW7, deer have a sweet tooth. There are other methods than Skittles to avoid attracting a black bear or coon.
