you are absolutely right my dad's freind (the one using the licorice stuff) had deer come in to it but they were just passing through the area one buck he saw was walking by suddenly caught a whiff of his scent wicks and stopped dead in his tracks did a 360 and made a b line right for it the buck sniffed it licked it and then followed the scent drag my freind used right to the base of his treestand the scent didnt bring him into the area he was already there but it did pull him off his current route right to were my freind wanted him

just a thought if its close to the rut try a drag rag. its worked for me on occasion.

Not sure where you are located but If you just want to see deer up close, set up on the edge of a corn field on the ground. Make a ground blind out of branches and grass. I have actually hunted like this on windy days and have had deer, turkeys and pheasant within 5 feet of me. Use the wind to your advantage and have fun.

apples work well. what ive been doing is putting out corn, oats, apples and spreading some buck jam gel on top of it all. youd be suprised.

Buy a Fawn In Distress call and does will show up!

be careful, you don't want to put bait out and then go back there during hunting season and get in trouble

go where you see tracks, get him involved, sometimes not seeing a deer but looking in the woods, squirrels, turkey, maybe a red-tail hawk is even cooler...he will be hanging on everything you say anyway
