C'Mere Dere!

[Guest mik629]

Just wondering what everyone thinks about C'mere Deer. I'm wondering if the powder is better in different applications than the liquid. And I know you really can't mix the powder into a liquid, for the spray on effect on T.V. Where is everyone putting the Cmere Deer, on a stump, on some plants or on just the ground.

I'm not sure if it acctually ATTRACTS deer but if you are placing it within a Deers core area, I could see a deer visiting often. But where I hunt is a travel area and what I am doing is definetly not ATTRACTING them... Mind you, where I am hunting there is a ton of food sources... maybe I should wait to put it down until a few feet of snow.

Texas deer ignore it

search other hunting forums to find out the truth:)

Let the games begin. In my unprofessional opinion, the stuff is garbage.

I tryed the liqued the powder and the 3 day harvest. Im located in northern ontario canada. The liqued didn;t work what so ever. The 3day harvest worked, had a deer eating it within 2 hours of being on the ground BUT birds and squirls would eat it also.

The powder for some reason worked on one part of my property and the other it didn't. It worked in my foodplot, but did not work in a cedar patch that i have.

Its really hard to tell if it works, if i didn;t have the trail camrea pictures to prove id doubt it works.

For the amount it cost you, you can put out alot of corn and have better luck if you ask me. Here where i am you can get approx 150lbs of corn for the same price as 1 gallon of c'mere deer powder

IMO, it is just like anything else you would use to attract deer. Calls, scents, food...the response you get all depends on the deer in your area and also hunting pressure. I have tried it up in the U.P. didn't really get much attention. But I know people who have used it in areas down here and have had good results with it, my cousin took the biggest buck he has ever shot a couple years ago by using this stuff. Like anything the only way to tell if it works or not is to try it, it's up to you to decide if you want to take the risk.

My step-father and I have used it for about a year now and yes it works. The spots we've set up with it have always had deer on the trail cameras eating it.And gotta say ... it tastes like oats. Haha

[sskybnd]

i use it and have been for 2 years now, it seems to work great for me, i can put it on my corn and within a day they will be eating it,

[Tink]

you mean you have to bait the deer to eat corn?

Fussy eaters or what?

[Guest Finn]

At $25 a gallon, I really think your money is much better spent on whole corn and a home made mineral mix. Very expensive stuff.

Here's a couple options for a mineral mix: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69185&highlight=mineral

Haha, my thoughts exactly Tink!!

[Guest Ryguy337]

i always thought baiting deer was a bit unethical, but all those attractants are real expensive. why not just hunt with out bait? im not raggin on any one using it, go for it if i works. good luck.

[hyperflow]

i bait because i enjoy seeing lots of deer.

[sskybnd]

no i dont have to bait my deer to eat the corn:rolleyes: it seems like theres something in it that makes them want to come to it with a day and it just seems to help them find my corn faster:D

[Tink]

When you fish do you use bait?

Its about harvest a deer froma populatiosn that rising as fast as taxes.

Do whats legal in your state.

When in Rome do as the romans do

They hit it hard but it goes in one feeding. Just costs too much.

Plus, what is really in it? They never are too specific. Any lab guys here can break it down, maybe make our own, cheaper?

Yep! In NJ you can bait DURING the hunting season as it may be the only way, outside of the rut, to pull the bucks out of their sanctuary. Hunting over bait it not illegal. They do draw the line here:

Feeding Deer in Winter

Each winter, the Division of Fish and Wildlife receives numerous inquiries regarding the feeding of deer and other wildlife. Although everyone wants to help wild animals through the seemingly difficult time of year, New Jerseyans should be reminded that deer are wild animals and have adapted to cope to the sometimes harsh winter weather, including deep snow, cold temperatures and high winds. Deer adapt physiologically as well as behaviorally to the changes of season. In the fall, subcutaneous fat is deposited, and the reddish summer coat is molted for a highly-insulative winter coat. The metabolism of the deer usually decreases during the colder months. To conserve energy, deer limit their feeding to the warmer daylight hours and in general, become less active, particularly during periods of bad weather. Deer may remain bedded down for long periods of time in areas of dense cover without harmful effects. [/size][/font]

The Division of Fish and Wildlife strongly encourages New Jerseyans to avoid feeding wildlife during the winter period and throughout the year. Under most conditions winter feeding is of no value in maintaining deer populations during the winter stress period and may be detrimental to both deer and their habitat. Winter feeding concentrates animals, but provides only a portion of their nutritional requirements. The result is increased browsing on preferred native food plants causing a reduction in these food sources and an increased feeding on less nutritious foods. Continued feeding often results in the deterioration of deer range. Winter deer losses are sometimes increased through feeding by concentrating the animals in a smaller portion of their range than normal. Thus, competition for available food becomes more intense. Fawns may be rebuffed by the strong, more dominant adult animals, and be unable to obtain enough food for maintenance. If food is distributed, it must be spread out over large areas, to allow all of the deer in the herd to feed.

Deer are only able to digest food through a mutually beneficial relationship with the microorganisms in the rumen-reticulem compartment of the stomach. Rapid changes in diet can produce digestive disruptions resulting in death, because the microorganisms are not able to adapt to a sudden change in diet. It is important not to introduce a new food in large quantities to deer. Readily fermentable foods, consumed in large quantity, without adequate microbial adaptation, may result in rumenitis. Emergency feeding often begins too late and fails to prevent deer mortality. The condition of the deer going into the winter is the major factor in determining its ability to survive the winter.

It is highly unlikely that winter conditions in New Jersey will ever be severe enough to warrant supplemental deer feeding. During short-term emergency situations, supplemental feeding may be justified on a limited basis. In the rare instances, when supplemental feeding is authorized, native natural food plants are to be used where possible. Through cutting, the amount of available browse can be increased for a limited period of time. Even in the northern states, where deep snow and low temperatures are common, feeding is strongly discouraged. Winter feeding, other than in a strictly emergency situation, treats a symptom not the cause of a problem. It aggravates a problem which can only be solved through the maintenance of deer population densities in balance with available natural food sources and winter habitat.

Really I think it has alot to do really where you live and if the deer population is high then food may be scarce and then they will eat it up right away. And where I hunt they really don't give a scat because there is a giant field of clover in just about every direction.

Now in Canada we have a TSC its like a farm supply company... but thier formula 14 is cheep $4 canadian... and its 40 lbs of a mix of everything... its great for gobblers too.

But overall from what everyone has said... try it once if you don't have GREAT outcomes... its not worth it... there are MUCH cheaper opportunities.

thanks for the replys

I have my doubts!

I tried the liquid version and the deer walk right by it. I will stick to corn and save my money. I was rather disappointed. The celebrities that have been promoting it, must get paid well for their endorsement!
