Molasses peanut butter and corn. If you want to do the work you can find a candy recipe with molasses and play with it so that you can add the corn and peanut butter to it and it will caramelize. I had a friend that used to make them in 3" square blocks, they were killers for attracting deer. A lot of work and I never did learn his method, kind of regret it now, but I remember it as being a mess in the kitchen. When he died so did the recipe. He would put them out the night before he hunted, in the morning you could hear the deer crunching on the "candy" while you were waiting for sun up.

That is where you go to the Goodwill store and buy your own blender. Clean up is real easy, water hose and store it away from the kitchen for next year.

You in Abilene? Went to college there at HSU. Loved every minute of it--and even lived right off of Catclaw Creek for a bit.

Steal your wifes used Maxi's. Stick them to a tree during rut. Gross but works. Domesticated does are not that much different from those in the wild.
heard that before, I'm just not sure...
