Has anyone ever tried and had luck with C Mere Deer? If not, what other attractants you guys use?

Before I tried it, they ate the corn. I used it, they ate the corn. I stopped using it, they ate the corn.
I used it in one feeder and didn't use it in another feeder that was about 150 yards away across a creek and a patch of woods. They ate at both feeders. Most of the deer stopped at the feeder without the c'mere deer first before coming to the feeder with c'mere deer, same as they had always done.
Long story short, it didn't hurt the hunting, but didn't really seem to help, either.

oh, and as for what I use, I fill the feeders with corn, and I buy a bag of horse & mule feed (sweet feed). On the way to the stand, I chum a little with a mixture of corn and the sweet feed. I tried Alfalfa, but our deer didn't seem to know what it was.

Three of us decided to test this stuff this year. This isn't scientific, and was in northern Wisconsin, so it might be different, but after 2 weekends of bow season this is what we did and results so far.
One bought The Crush, one used C Mere Deer and I bought some Swamp Donkey. We made the choice to stay away from anything with acorns. The land is a hard wood tree farm and will be coated with acorns shortly as they've already begun to drop. All stnads had our "2 gallon" limit of corn on the ground and all deer passing by atleast nibbled at the corn.
The Crush(ground blind coated a small stump approx 25m in knee hign grass)- the powder only has just been sitting on the ground rotting. No deer even sniffing it on game cam or seen from the stand.
C Mere Deer(ground blind poured out in 1" depth 5m off a well used deer trail from bedding area to standing corn field, 23m from the blind, the branches sprayed were everywhere along the trail we could get the liquid)- The powder has been completely ignored. The low lying branches that were sprayed got some curious attention, but nothing "special". They did not linger nor smell it more than once and move on.
Swamp Donkey(tree stand the powder poured directly on a well used deer trail leading to a bedding area from a natural spring, the spray was on all low lying branches near the spring and just the ones where the trail starts, 28m from the stand)- The powder on the ground was ignored during daylight but at night on game cam has the deer eating it. Not all of it but they did taste it. Now the spray has had a crazy effect on the young bucks during daylight hours, but was completely ignored by the does. They can't control themselves around it. They are just chewing/licking on the low lying branches we sprayed. Even if they spook themsselves off, they don't go far and come back in 5-10 minutes. The only reason they seem to have left it, was it was all gone. However, after re-coating the next day, only 1 came back. I haven't had a chance to check that game cam, but will this weekend.
Hope this info helps. I'll try to remember to update Monday if anyone is interested in more results.
Edit Note- All this was on the same 180 acre tract of land.

Sometimes we will get the a big bottle of it and stir some corn in it and pour it out on the road to our feeder, works good!

I haven't had any luck with any attractants, Corn is all I use now, tried the alfalfa too with no results. I'm thinking if I could ever get the deer to at least try the alfalfa they would love it, but they walk all over it and don't even sniff at it!!

We have had good luck with C Mere Deer, used it with rice bran, acorns, and corn. Put it down a lane several hundred yards away from the feeder and had over 100 game cam pics in less that 24 hours, that sad. I have switched to sweet feed as my attractant of choice. 50 pounds for ten bucks and it works wonders

I can't claim that it works or it doesn't. All I know is a couple of years ago, when we had a very slow going of it with very few deer seen, I poured about half a bottle of the powder inside my full feeder and stirred it up. When my feeder started, the spinner would spread the powder into the wind like a spray scent (almost). I was the only one to see any deer sometimes. Guys would come back seeing NOTHING. I'd be embarrassed to tell them I saw 25 different deer. Luck? Attractant? Don't know.

Never had any luck with C'Mere Deer, and neither has anyone I know. I'm going to try BUCK CANDY this year. Already put it out about a week ago, so lets see how it goes. I bought the apple scented one and wow does that thing smell amazing!! My mailman commented how good the package smelled (strong apple flavor) and the package was completely closed!! I would also like to try BB2 but not sure if I can get my hands on any.

I have poured it around my feeder and it sat there while the corn kept getting eaten. If you really want to try some bait use acorn rage. They have eaten that stuff for me. I still think they like corn better than any of it.

I mixed a bag of corn and a bag of hog wild, had a bunch of deer in front of the camera. With just the corn, didn't have as many deer.

Never tried C'mere Deer but haven't heard much good about it either. I'm a sucker for anything and am trying my own "sweet corn mix" this fall. It's done well so far.

In outside Texas areas, persimmon works fairly well, as does corn or sugar free maple and brown sugar oatmeal. I don't bait anymore myself.
Maybe I'll hunt but for now I've quit.

I use it at my Springtown lease and it seems to work great. We pour it out away from the feeder and get as many deer going to it as we do the corn. Maybe we have goofy deer, but I am using it as long as it keeps working.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who believe they can and those who believe they can't. They are both correct.
