Has anyone tried these products called Deer Co-Cain ?? I have heard that they work very well. My friend recommended that I use Deer Co-Cain Black Magic. Any tips ???

I put it out in the early spring ,it helps with rack growth and general health. You can put it out any time . Deer will dig up the ground . I put it near trails . I tryed hunting over / nere it with poor results . I think deer hit it at night . But I do see good numbers in the general area

i really can not say how good it worked.everyone i hunt with tried it and the deer never even looked at it. we all put it out before the season and left it thru the seasons end.it was never touched. i did have deer walk right by it but never stopped

Deer cocaine has worked very well for me. I've had one spot going now for about 2 years and it's about 6 or 7 feet around and maybe 3 feet deep. No lie. I put my camera on it all the time and it fills up quickly. Maybe my deer just need minerals more than your deer do. I don't get many daylight pics though. Most all of them at night. I wish I had a scanner and could show you some pics. There's a few with deer standind in the hole with their heads down and you cant even see their head. You might as well try it though.

Hit and miss. Last year I put some out and thought they were going to dig to china with the way they were digging at it. This year they did not touch it. I guess I'll just have to chalk it up to something else I don't understand about deer.:eek:

I used the regular liquid bottle last year and had great results. I placed it close to a break in the trees not terribly far from my feeder. There was no path there to begin with, but within 3 weeks of placing it there, I had major traffic starting from that point heading towards my feeder.

I bought some this year (the powder), but just put it out last weekend . . . haven't had a chance to go back and see if its had any traffic.

I put it out and noticed some digging but never saw a deer hit it during daylight..

I have it out now it's been out for about three week with no success. I have had people who have used it quite a bit tell me it has taken deer in their area up to a year to start hitting it.

ive never used it here because its illegal to bait deer, but i may try it for cam shots.

RE: Deer Co-Cain ???
 

It is not baiting in some states like mine. Missouri, salt and mineral suppliments are legal in our state.

I love it. I use the powder and don't mix it with water. I let the rain do its own work. Plus who wants to haul water(G). Every place I put it is dug up. I shot 2 deer close to the licks last year that I put out in the spring and refreshed them in summer.(I shot one that was too small, rack looked good but body was light and thin) It seems to work good on the rack size. I shot my first 8 point and saw a 10 point. Racks have grown in the past 2 years significantly.

I think it works, but you can make your own for much cheaper and have a much bigger quantity to play with.

RE: Deer Co-Cain ???
 

I have used it for about 4 years now and the deer love it. I hunt a cut over and i think the deer need more minerals. They are digging me a swimming pool.[:@]

RE: Deer Co-Cain ???
 

Can you tell us how to make our own (ingredients)?

RE: Deer Co-Cain ???
 

I don't know the exact recipe he would be referring to, but you can read the package to find the exact ratios of minerals in it, then go to the feed store and buy the minerals in 50# or 100# bags. I'd guess salt is a main ingredient. While we're on this subject, another good trick is to pour about 50# of plain salt/mineral supplement (also available at the feed store) on a half rotted stump. When the rain soaks it in, deer will tear it to pieces.
