Ive used it alot in the past and yes everything would eat it . It might take a little while for them to get on it because its foreign to them but when they do they lick the jar clean . I used to eat a spoonfull when i left out to go hunting for cover sent . I havnt used it in several years but that was just due to cost and i just like trying diffrent things to see how deer would react .

The NC state record buck killed last year scored 173 and change was killed over it last year.LCH

Here it is legal on private land/ land not managed by the state.

That being said I tried it and it definitely got deer to stop for the camera.

Deer are like pigs, they will eat almost anything.
Potato chips, corn ships, cheeto's, bread, pop corn, carmel corn.  You name and deer will eat it.

Need to add that they like cigarettes also.  A friend of mine had a pet deer that was on the wrong side of a busy road.  He owned a gun shop and couldn't go get it so he handed me two cigarettes and asked me to coax his deer back across the road.  I went to the location, called out for the deer holding a cigarette, he ran to me, he ate the smoke and then I used the second one to lure him across the roadway.

This was probably 30 years ago.

He died of lung cancer ....

Thanks to this thread... our only jar of peanut butter has mysteriously disappeared!!

Oops.. here comes the wife, gotta go.

   

I tried it a couple seasons ago with a trail cam focused on it. Unfortunately I didn't have much luck which was confusing as this particular spot was a busy fence crossing where I'd typically seen a lot of does. No deer came near it, but the ants sure loved it. This was, however, in the latter part of the season when temperatures were lower (in Texas, that just means "bearable" rather than "scalding hot" or our other only temperature rating, "road construction").

Was just thinking about this recently and wanting to try it again. Will do the trick mentioned earlier in the thread about drilling holes so it will drip; the previous attempt I simply cut the bottom off leaving a bit of a lip so it wouldn't run out.

elkken, the buck, a 5 point had a ribbon around his neck and antlers painted orange so no one would shoot him so some moron shot him anyway!!

I'm stumped.I put out a jar attached to a tree with a camera on it for about a week and when I checked it, all the peanut butter was gone and not one picture of anything,let alone a deer was taken eating it. Maybe the rain washed it out?  

It takes raccoons about 2 days to find it on my farm and when they do they consume it all.  Have a trail cam picture with 9 coons on the tree, on the ground, and hanging onto the jar.

Sorry to hear that Jon ....
