Title: best attractent
Post by: Slickhead on December 10, 2012, 11:46:00 AM
Looking to put out a trail cam for some pics. Whats the best deer attractent for getting deer in for pics.
I know they like corn but it isnt the best for them.
I saw a deer and elk feed at Tractor Supply that may be good.
Whatever it is it must weather rain (as were getting a lot)

I second teh vanilla sent.  Also, I have had luck wiht deer dander or the herd in a stick paste.  

Deer Cane and Black Magic work well for getting pics as well.

Nothing wrong with corn. We have a feeder across our pond. Deer will eat it but not before they eat other natural stuff first. And...they don't stay too long. It's really got to be a cold and hungry group of deer to clean up a corn pile. Coons/turkeys will eat most of it.

Mineral blocks work well without negatively affecting the natural food diet of the game.
