Guest Andrea Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Anyone ever use this? Do the deer like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've never used it, but I have heard that it works. But at almost $15/bag, I will stick with corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Corn here is $11 for a 50# bag. Thought about trying a bag in the area I plan on NOT putting out corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Seen it at wal mart and thought to myself how easy it would be to collect acorns from the woods around here and relocate them to a certain spot. Around one of our stands you just about cannot walk without stepping on acorns. May be a fun project for the kids to collect buckets full to relocate to our mineral site.

GWSmith Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Andrea, I cant use anything here it's illegal in New York State...but they sell it in the stores:rolleyes: IF the chance ever arose that the laws change here I'd probably try everything out there on the market. I would suggest though using a trail camera to monitor the site to see whats eating anything your placing on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest though using a trail camera to monitor the site to see whats eating anything your placing on the ground. I'd have to agree with this. I just put out a trail cam this year for a buddy of mine so that he could see what he's been feeding with his corn spreader for two years. Now we know why the Turkeys are huge and the coons are bigger. LOL He has spent money and time on this feeder and it's only helping him fatten up the small stuff. If you don't put it in the right areas then attractants are a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have tons of acorns in the yard. Would they eat them though if I relocated them? I thought they didn't eat the acorns after they'd been on the ground for very long.

ChasinTail Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I used this stuff in the preseason once a week. Everytime I came to check my spots, the ground was all torn up so I guess it has some draw to it. My problem is, I found out it doesn't taste too bad! I kept eating some of it on the way out to pour it out. Pretty sure it can't be good for you either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yea it's illegal to use here in NY while hunting so many stores just don't carry it period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yea it's illegal to use here in NY while hunting so many stores just don't carry it period. Went to the local Walmart today and of course I cruised through the hunting section of the store. I thought about this thread and looked for some Acorn Rage to see if they had it...no...but I found a Sign(Illegal to feed Deer..etc.etc.etc.) placed there by the NYDEC in front of a bag of "Shake & Take".

RangerClay Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I cannot use acorn rage here in NY but if I were to buy some I would get that one that screws in trees. It looks like it may last a little longer. http://www.wildgameinnovations.com/products/acorn-rage-infuzed.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bghunter777 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I Used the one that you screw into the tree over the summer. the bees loved it went to check it one time after about a week and it was covered with bees. went back about a month later and it was down to almost nothing not sure if the deer were using it or not. i imagine they did looked like the hot summer heat was melting it as well i imagine it would work better during hunting season in the fall. but here in Pa we are not aloud to hunt over them so i guess i wont find out.

Jorden Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I use it and the deer seem to like it a lot...i mix it with minerals during the summer to add a little more nutrition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGirl Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Andrea, I'm in Florida too and tried some of the Acorn Rage. It seemed to work okay but they only seem to want the "real thing" right now. The acorns are falling so heavy right now on our lease they don't seem to really care about anything else. They're barely even touching the corn at the feeders. It may work better once the acorns are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
