i use it every year, works really well for younger deer and does. i have never seen a mature buck goto it though. but it does seem to be affective on the younger herd. I had a button buck eating it every day until it was gone. but i made the mistake of letting a friend use my stand and he shot it [:@], even though he said he wouldn't! he will never hunt my stands again!

Some friend. Thats good I'm not looking for the trophy just yet. I just want to get them coming to my feeder and camera.

I went and checked my feeder and found a new scrape and rub next to it. Camera screwed up and didn't take any pictures. There is a track in the scrape that we predicted to be between 2.5-3 yr. old ldeer. If the Buck Jam did this I'll never try anything again.

I cannot get too excited about Buck Jam - or any other attractant like it. Its not that I feel its a bad product, maybe deer really like it - but I don't see that it has any other benefit - except, possibly - to attract deer during hunting season.

Its great to see deer, and have a possibility at a buck every year - and I strive for that as well - but my intentions in our managment program, are to acheive this same goal, and at the same time - increase mine, and my hunting partners' chances over the next years - and at the same time - improve the quality of our deer herd. Buck Jam, Deer Cocaine, C'm here deer, and the likes don't fit in to my managment scheme.

I understand that. I just needed something to help the deer find my corn, AND THEY DID! Never saw a track until I put out the Buck Jam. Maybe a coincident, maybe not.

I've used the Apple flavored the last two years on a stump and they seem to love it. I believe in the stuff, anytime I am at Wal-Mart or at a outdoor store that has it I buy them out. It can be hard to find due to so many people using it now. As far as benifit for the animal, it provides just as much nutrients as a salt/mineral block. I recommend using it on a stump so that it soaks in and you get more use out of it.

Well I bought the acorn flavor because we don't have apple trees here. Do you think that would make a difference?

Tried the persimmon flavor with no result, same with apple and acorn.

Well I bought the acorn flavor because we don't have apple trees here.

There isn't an apple tree within a hundred miles of where I am. I tried the persimmon flavor and we have a couple persimmon trees a few hundred yards away and they never touched it. The way I do it is I put out some corn in a place where I know where deer are a couple times to get them to stop. Then I pour a jug out on a stump and spread my corn on the ground and some on the stump. They will eat the corn and smell the Apple (they love apple's) then they eat the stump. I have done this for two years and my stump has been nuked. I avg 10 or 12 jugs a year and I believe in the stuff.

I have noticed though that it may take a bit for them to get used to it. I have seen that with food plots as well though. Deer are peculiar.

Well I put out the Acorn flavor and when they found it they murdered it. Then made a scrape and rub right next to it, but they haven't been back. I think they were just traveling but they seemed to love the acorn flavor.

I would imagine a jar of peanut butter would do for a lot cheaper.;)

I have tried that too and either ants or coons take it over or run off with it.

My cousin told me he gets good results from PB. I just haven't tried it.

I love using Buck jam. It works really good for trail cameras, well and for hunting to, it brought a nice mature 8 pointer in this year but just wasnt the size i was looking for.
