ORIGINAL: ogg

Last year i put out 50lbs of corn every other night.The deer were eating it good but were not super crazy about it and was wondering what else i could put out that they would go crazy for?
If you're using corn I'm going to assume that you don't live in a farm state. Keep in mind that deer that don't have corn available to them on a regular basis don't have the microbes necessary to digest corn in their gut. They were probably having trouble digesting it! ;)

any powder attractant can be mixed with corn and fed through a feeder. With buck jam you hafta mix it and then let it dry. Personally I like to stick to the powder stuff, unless I'm just puttin the corn on the ground then I'll use the liquid stuff sometimes.

Something cheap and easy is molasses. I pour about three gallons over a stump. They love to lick it off and will eat the wood that the mollases has soaked into. You can take a bucket into a feed store and buy it for next to nothing.

its crazy how deer in differnt areas prefer different things, we put out molasses a couple times a few years ago and the deer wouldn't touch it:D
