Anyone use a feeder on their property? If so what do you put in it? I have a small feeder out with some magnum buck corn I bought, but the deer don't seem to be hitting on it. I poured out a bag in an alfalfa field and it's gone already, but they just aren't hitting my feeder for some reason. Also, does anyone use any attractants, such as c'mere deer, deer cane, buck jam? Any success with any of these products? I know a lot of states you can't bait, but Ohio is an exception. I wanted to buy a scouting cam, but not if any deer are hanging around.

Same thing on my land... The deer avoid the feeder for the most part, but nail the corn I spread in a field.
The attractants to me are a waist of money, unless you are trying to get deer there for the first time, and you need to hunt that location right away.
Don't get me wrong the attractants work, but corn is one heluva good attractant in my opinion, at least where I hunt.

corn spread out in about a 6 foot circle about 5 feet from my feeder when I first put it out for the season works very well for me. c'mere deer is the best deer repelent I have ever used. If you have a neighbor or brother inlaw that sneaks onto your land to hunt. Put some c'mere deer near his stand and he will never see another deer.

How high is your feeder up? Is it in a bedding area? In my expericence there are spots on our property were deer will just go wild over them and other spots were the just wouldn't use them try moving it to another location and make sure its 10-15 feet in the air. My .02

I have two electric feeders that I have been filling with corn. The deer just don't care about them, however, the coons and squirrels love em. At times I set a camera up over them and the occassional deer comes by but only rarely.
