I was reading another post, and thinking back, on all of the things that my cousin and I would try, when growing up, to attract deer. If we heard it would work, we tried it.
Lets see, we made false scrapes and urinated in them.
We made feeders of a 5 gallon bucket of corn, with a stick poking through the bottom. Deer were supposed to move the stick, and more corn would fall out.
We put rock salt in a sock, and hung it froma rope, rain was supposed to wash the salt onto the ground so that the deer would lick the leaves.
We buried salt blocks just below the surface of the ground. Ditto with molasses blocks.
None of those really worked.
We sprayed plants with vanilla extract, they came and devoured that, and were slain.
We did the same thing with peanut butter, that worked as well.
We/I tried doe urine. Foxes love to eat that while you watch.
We tried horse feed, they will eat it up, at night when you can't hunt.
We tried honey, in a pipe driven into the ground, with crushed up sleeping pills in it. The deer were supposed to lick it out, and fall asleep so that you could find them sleeping when you came up. Never worked. I think that raccoons ate it all.
Those are a few that did or did not work. How about you?
