Best way to lure deer over?

Well, the hunting sure has been slow this year, seems like the cameras and food plots are not near as busy as they were last year. Anyways, I have been hunting one particular oat patch the last couple weeks and from the top of the ridge I can glass over and see over into to two different pastures from neighboring ranches. I always enjoy just watching the deer especially when there is not much activity on my side.

So that brings me to my question, the last two mornings I sat there I have seen 4 different bucks and one monster buck walking the far tree line on the other property. Its only about 300 or so yards from our fence so im hoping I can convince him to stumble my direction.

I have a feeder running that is getting no attention at all and was wondering if you guys had any other advice on ways to lure these deer over. I have tried rattling on a few occasions with no return on his part, they are really starting to chase the does around us and was thinking about throwing down some alfalfa or something different just to maybe get them to sneak over for a taste.

Do you guys have any other suggestions or things that have worked for yall? This buck has really got my wheels turning in my head. I stood there at academy tonight just staring at every single spam in a can product trying to convince myself that one would work, lol

Corn the crap out of it away from your feeder. I've corned a road this week and the deer won't even go to the feeder any more. Same 10pt has come out 3 days in a row and he would never come to the feeder.

Don't waste your money on anything else. I've tried acorn rage, molasses, berry scented granules, 10% sweet horse/mule feed and nothing works like cheap old deer corn.

I just had to try that last time I was in.....deer went and sniffed it, but they liked the corn that was poured out for them a lot more. After 2 days, all corn was gone, not a whole lot of the sweet feed was missing.
