I am in South Carolina too... I agree... none of the crap works here... salt, mineral licks, deer cane... they just ignore it and go straight to the corn. I am right there with you on that one....
Either way, this little guy is ready to get it on...

Being a South Carolina hunter, you probably know of the "corn gene" it seems our deer have. I tested four different things last season...I put a seperate 3'x1' strip of each...acorn rage, dried apples, deer cain and buck grub on a pile of shelled corn. After watching several does feed one day, I noticed something strange. The deer appeared to be pawing the other stuff away to just eat the corn. They didn't touch anything except the corn, regardless of the promises on the label.
My conclusion with these products is simple....if the ingredients in the products aren't something the deer feed on or have access to on a regular basis, they don't bother with it. Not scientific, just common sense. I probably don't have three oak trees within a mile radius of my house, so they pay attention to acorn rage.
Just my .02, and it may not be worth the bandwidth, and that's it.
