So I've read a lot and seen videos of this product and was wondering who here has had experience with it out in the field and if it really worked for them or it's just a big hype, plan on using it on a new lease 300 yards from a pond on a sendero that hasn't been hunted and was just cleared thanks for any input

It worked for me personally during pre rut in october but, since then they won't touch it. I did a little experiment with it about 3 weeks ago. I put a pile of corn and big&j right next to each other in front of a game camera. Only thing that touched it was the coons and birds.

Just another gimmicky "attraction bait". Corn or scented corn is as good as anything and way cheaper.

Tried it once but didn't see deer get close to it. Hogs came to it a few times, but it makes a he11 of a catfish chum.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I put out a bag once and watched the deer eat it. It lasted two days. But to be honest, our deer eat just about anything! food

I put out 2 pallets of the BB2 and a pallet of the blocks. The blocks lasted about a week and the BB2 is gone in a day. First attractant I have seen deer walk over corn for. I thought It was a hoax myself then I had Jeremy Atkins (owner) hunt with me on one of my ranches. I spent some time talking to him about it and was given some to try out. It works and I will keep using it.

I have pictures of deer on the blocks all day and all night. I was feeding the purina blocks which are 1/2 the price but I don't mind spending a little extra $ if it's going to help my success rates and help my deer.

I've always had good luck with the blocks, they'll last about two weeks with the deer... If the hogs find them they're gone in two days.

Put a pencil to what it cost you per ton. eek2 You can get as good of an attractant in corn for a whole lot less money. You can get a much better nutritional supplement in deer protein pellets at a whole lot better price. You also get a mineral package for Texas deer.

Who the crap is going to buy a ton of it? Protein pellets might be a better price but the deer don't eat the protein everywhere. One of the only thing for us besides corn they eat is big and j

I don't count cost ... as long as I meet my objective
(which is continuous deer movement ) ; I'll spend
and even double it

for me it's not deer farming, it's deer recreation

my saltwater fishing habits cost a whole lot more yearly

No matter how much you buy it is expensive. Buying one bag at a time makes it seem cheaper, after a year it you are still buying a crap load of expensive attractant. Deer eat protein everywhere. Never had any issue getting deer to eat protein anywhere I have been. I have seen deer walk over corn to get to a protein feeder in October.
