AvonLKHunter Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Deer cain works great up here in Ohio. i put it out end of Sept. and it takes about two weeks for them to destroy it. JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Expensive, but it does work. There was a recipe for a homemade version on here last year. Might want to search for that. One thing though, you have to put it out where the cows, sheep, etc. can't get to it or they'll gobble it all up before the deer have a chance.

bowhtr1 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I have been using it and the deer are tearing it up right now. I went to the feed store at the end of last season and they were trying to get rid of what they had. 1 buck a bag. I spent 29 dollars. Thats all they had. I only use the powder deer cane and spread it on the ground like it is. I dont mix it or anything like that. The rain does the rest. They will stop hitting it as the weather cools down. I had about 400 trips on my deer cam that was at a one of these spots. I had two others out on food plots that only had about 50 pics between them. This was two weeks worth of pics. I change out my memory card on the one on the lick and got 64 in one night. 50 were of two nice bucks. Most of my 2005 pics on my webshots page below are of one of my licks. Give it a try but you may have waited to late. by the time they start hitting it the weather will cool down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Have used all sorts of mineral attractants including deer canre, and the deer will use the mineral sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I'll be giving it a try this year. I want to make a few mineral sites with the liquid version. I've used the blocks before and they tear that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I have three cain licks out! The smallest lick is on a stump with a circumference of about 2 feet. The largest lick is about 6 feet in diameter. The stuff works just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Sure have hunting girl but don't bother using it anymore. We just put out mineral licks now. From our experience they are heavily used during the hotter months of the year but not much at all during any open deer season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdickey Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Had used Deer Cane until I found out about Buck Grub about four years ago..... that's all I use now! I add it to my feeders and use it sparingly on the ground. What Hunters Are Saying About Buck Grub * “I won’t hunt without it!” –Jay Novacek, Nebraska and Texas * “Getting next to critters is my life. Buck Grub brings ’em in like nothing I have ever seen. I’m a Buck Grubber!” –Ted Nugent, Michigan * “I’ve found the secret to big bucks. Thanks Buck Grub.” –Jim Shockey, Canada * “One awesome attractant. Deer absolutely love it!” –Alan Warren, Texas * “Buck Grub brings the big bucks in and they find the product fast. The deer found it in just one night. The most beneficial thing about the product is it actually changed the bucks’ habits. We started seeing large bucks in daylight.” –Frank Greenelee, Mississippi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Expensive stuff for what it is. 98% salt. You can get a fifty lb block mineral lick at Agway or a farm store for less than 10 bucks. Once established the deer will tear it up. You can break it up for a few different spots. Pretty rich list of fellas using that buck grub. $8 for a 5 lb bag. No thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I purchased some Deer Cane today at walmar(the liquid kind). Never used it before. A buddy of mine has some out and told me he hasn't had any luck w/ it. Of course he told me this AFTER i purchased it. Just gonna wait and see!!!

Guest ILBrad Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I alwalys thought this stuff would be considered baiting, and thus illegal? Do diferent states have laws regarding these products? Some people have said they just use salt blocks, Im almost positive those are illegal here in Illinois. I was really shocked at how many people on here said they were using these type of products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To provide the most benefit for the deer herd, mineral licks should be put out in the late spring or early summer. They are highly used during the hotter months of the year. They really aren't used (at least down here) hardly at all during any open deer season. Someone hunting a food plot, trails, or other food sources is going to see far more deer down here than somebody hunting a mineral or deer cane lick. Some hunters I know learned that lesson the hard way. Baiting is illegal here but mineral licks (or deer cane) is legal by law. I know some states include mineral licks, deer cane, etc. in their defination of baiting and thus it's illegal there. Our state does not but specifically states mineral licks are legal. They know they are mainly used in the summer too. Baiting is legal in some other states so it's a non-issue there. I'm not here to debate this issue just provided ILBrad with the facts as best I can.

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I havent had much success with it but I do know that its not the healthiest stuff for your deer there are much better choices and healthier choices for your deer there is the 4-play block its a block lick that you can split into 4 pieces or leave as one big block it has more nutrients then the cane does all the cane is is mostly salt they need other minerals to.

TexasDeerHunter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? I have used Deer Cane once, it seemed to work well. Have tried Buck Grub and had no luck. Currently I use Tecomate seed mixes in a food plot near my bow blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Ever used Deer Cane?? Well....I put one out a few days before the hurricane. I just went out and checked it yesterday. Something's been nibbling at it but the ground hasn't been torn up around it. Probably just squirrels. Oh well. It may take 'em a while. They are sure tearing up the corn though!!! Glad I don't have to haul it very far. I'm makin about 2 trips a week!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
