oklahomalandman Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Ok I know that baiting is not legal everywhere, but what are the best baits you all know of. Where im from the dominate bait is corn, but I have heard that deer will walk past corn to get to peanuts especially when it turns cold. Any info is welcome.

Alisha Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Up here people use lots of apples, but also use carrots as well. I've heard of deer walking past a pile of apples to get to the carrots once they are hooked on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 There is a new attractant that busted out on the scene here in Oklahoma. It is a attractant and minerial supplement called BoneDMonium. A friend of mine caught word of it mid-season and scrambled to get a couple of bags. He put it out on the edge of one of our green fields and it truely floored me at how much the deer came to it. I personally watched a deer stay on it for 3 hours one evening and the amount of pictures he was getting was amazing. I will be getting some of it before next, but it is a little pricey. $20 for a 7.5# bag. I personally would not buy it blind, but after seeing how many deer came to it, I think it is worth the money. On a side note.. I am no way affiliated with the company or the people. I just know it works.

redkneck Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Deer aint nothing but high-powered goats, never seen a bait they wouldnt take. I dont bait them unless in front of a game cam, it's illegal here. Just depends if your trying to attract them of give them nutrition as to what you want to put out.

okiedog Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have not tested this yet but it should work as well........ Take a grill out of a old car and hang it from a tree by your stand. The deer should run right into it.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Corn is a big time bait around here. I've used percimmons (sp?) too and they seem to like them. Peanut butter is another one I've heard that works. My father-in-law buys the GV brand and drills the cap of the jar into a tree and he cuts the bottom of the jar out. I haven't tried it but he swears it works. Sweet feed is another good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I agree with Redneck deer will eat just about anything. It depends on if you want nutrition or attractant. One thing that hasn't been said that's not quite as feasible is grapes. Deer will clean a grape vine in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 the people that lease the land next to us are using sweet potato's and there saying there eating them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yep, sweet potatoes, bread, bagels! Deer love their sugar but they love their starch too! Baiting is legal here, but I only put out bait for the trail cam. I have witnessed too much BS with baiting and would love to see it gone. That bonemonium stuff at $20.00 for a 7.5# bag will take you broke in a hurry, no? :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Bucknasty Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 They're pretty fond of skoal, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. No kidding. Also, peanut butter works on occasion for trail cameras, so do gathered acorns. During December and January or whenever food gets lower, I bait camera sites with a cocktail of quints, blackberries, muscadines, and persimmons that I collect throughout the year.

TN Bucknasty Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 What the heck is a quints? It's in the pear family. Best way I can describe it is like a small tough, tart pear. Actually taste pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Corn all the way...you can't go wrong with a good grain this time of year. I've also heard of peanut butter on just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleyman Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 apples are big out here. Same here! As soon as I had put apples out I started getting not only more deer but more bucks and good bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
