penutbutter for deer
 
is it true penutbutter can attract deer?

Joot 10-14-2012 08:13 PM

Yes, deer do like human foods too...

It's widely known deer dig peanut butter. In fact in recent blind taste tests 4 out of 5 deer preferred Skippy peanut butter.

But what is a well kept secret is that deer just can't resist....

You bring a box of these in the woods and you're gold!

Deer LOVE peanut butter, but keep in mind its considered a bait/foodsource in states that dont allow baiting.

Remove lid on Jiffy, nail lid to tree at 3-4ft off ground. Screw the jar back on the lid & cut the end out of the jar. Then GET READY here they come! :)

Only problem I had with it was the bees also like it.I added peanut oil to make it run out a little better.

Those are the best damn moon pies in the world, don't waste them on the deer!

would some of you people say it works better then scents like pee? what do you guys think? could it be good to use both at the same time?
what are your guys thoughts on scents?

Mojotex 10-15-2012 05:18 PM

Might be but I'd be skeptical that a deer could master twisting off the jar lid.

sconnyhunter 10-15-2012 05:32 PM

What about he ones with a a peanut allergy.

Are you thinking about them, come on now.

(why can't the smilies be on when I make a post like this).......

choosey deer choose JIF!

It draws too may yellow jackets & Racoons for me. Just pick up a bag of sugar beet crush. Our deer act like it's crack. They can't stay away form it.

Hanson423 10-15-2012 07:15 PM

so what would be the best thing to attract deer?

A HOT doe!!! :hail:

Ive tried it and put a trail cam by the jar attached to a tree. 2nd night it was discovered by 6 racoons. The next night had 9 at once and the jar didn't survive.....

vapahunter 10-16-2012 08:14 AM

get the new single packs to go and put them on a tree. less waste. look in your grocery store. 6 to a pack. So far no luck with deer but will try at least 5 more times.

Just out of curiosity, heres a scenario. I live in a state where baiting the deer is illegal. So what if a jar of peanut butter were attached to a tree, 10 yards from a tree stand (lock-on). Warden sees this setup on a day hunter is not there. Hunter removes peanut butter, then hunts in the stand the next day. Is this illegal baiting of deer, if the bait is gone when the person is actually hunting?

In Indiana the bait must be removed within 10 days of hunting the area.

NebBuckHunter 10-18-2012 04:21 PM

Bait has to be removed 60 days prior to hunting in Nebraska. But salt and mineral blocks for "cattle", and "accidentally spilled" corn from a combine during harvest are usually fine...
