huntdux Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Food plots are in if they don't wash away, but if you could put one thing out this year, what would it be? Accorn Rage, C'mere Deer, Deer Cocaine, Buck Bran, Salt Block, ect... Food plot is back in secluded woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 The price of corn has almost doubled here. Deer are gonna be eating sweet potatoes and acorns this year............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah, corn prices are crazy. Wal-Mart and Bass Pro are getting $8 for a 40lbs sack. Thats up over 4 bucks from last year. We buy it bulk, so its a bit cheaper, but its still crazy-high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colescott1 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 "buck jam" Never used ANYTHING before, but got a cheap trail camera and was tired of seeing blank pics and deer butts..... bought a thing of Buck jam from Wally World, and man....the deer have dug a hole coming back to it.

Ethan Givan Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Apples. We have two apple trees in the back yard and they drop tons of apples on the ground. Go out there with a five gallon bucket, fill it up with apples and take it back in the woods for the deer. One bucket is gone in about 3 days. The deer love them and its free.

Rhino Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Non of those choices. If baiting were legal I'm with Andrea going with a pile of sweet potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'd put out some type of mineral, If you want to attract them you may as well give them something to help make them bigger and healthier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 yea, corn has gone up alot, were paying $8.00 a bag also and have been scence march, along with a 50 lb bag of soybeans that cost $23.00 a bag with three feeders holding 250lbs thats 5 bags of corn and a bag of soybeans thats $63.00 a feeder, but we have some fat deer.

wtnhunt Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Not legal to hunt over bait here, but minerals are not considered bait and we do use minerals and have a cam set up at a mineral site. If I could put out one thing it would be a mineral, probably trophy rock or deer cane or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 A hot doe!!!!:D:D Probably corn although they just banned it (baiting) here in the lower peninsula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yooperkenny Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 A hot doe!!!!:D:D..... Craig - that's exactly what I was going to say! When the does are ready the bucks could care less about their stomachs. Some years I'll take a doe early in season, cut off the tarsal glands and hang them from a branch out in front of my treestand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bghunter777 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 if i had to pick one of those probably a mineral block. but corn is the best atractant the does love it atract the does and about the last week of october you will start seeing the big boys. i obviously dont use this technique in pa as it is illegal but i have hunted over corn in the past mainly in west virginia. i have found that does and smaller bucks will use it year round but i tend to always end up seeing the shooter bucks as the rut aproaches they will check the baited area daily for receptive does.

Arkansas Boy Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 C'mere deer powder is a good one if you have your deer used to coming to it (hard to do at $19 a bottle). I am trying acorn rage for the first time this year ($14 a bag). We have corn feeders, but FWIW I have never killed a deer over a feeder.

Dawg Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Other than planting a plot..........Corn. I've tried several of the blocks....no luck I've tried the C'Mere deer...a waste of money I've tried the buck jam....no luck I've heard that peanut butter works good but I've never tried it. I've had the most success on rye grass and corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bigbuckor2 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Roasted Soybean and Corn mix. It's legal in Texas to feed because of low fences and 99% private land. Besides if I am going to go to the expense to feed anything, then I am going to try to give the deer something with enough protein to make a difference. Cost $10.99/50#BG. I just put out 700# last Saturday. Good Luck to all and safe hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Nothing at all. I prefer to hunt natural food sources like acorns,apples,or beechnuts.Occasionally I'll hunt a field edge or trail leading to a green field. I like the challenge of figuring out what they are eating and when, hopefully it will make me a better hunter. Although I have shot deer over feed called "crunchy 16" and there aint nothing wrong with that.(where legal of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
