Looking for a good deer attractant to place on ground in feeder area. Want something that actually works. What works for y'all other than corn?

Corn...just plain ol' everyday, ordinary deer corn. That's it. That's all you need.
All that other crap is good for is catching hunters and their money. Don't fall for it.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I agree corn is King... BUT..... just my own 2 cents out my lease is out NW of San Antonio the acorns have been plentiful for 2 years so the deer and blackbuck havent been hitting the feeder. So I went to the hardware store in thinking maybe I could find some kind of attractant that had acorn smell to it. I found something called Acorn Rage (has a hog on the label LOL). I kinda laughed and thought this is stupid but what the heck. First time I used I walked out to the stand put the gun the stand walked out and poured it behind the deer feeder. Walked back turned my ipad on propped my feet up cracked open my Adult Beverage and before I could log on with my password. 6 Blackbuck walked up to rage. Dead BB shortly thereafter. Used it a few other times with success. 2 8 points and 2 other bb.... The Axis could care less about it.

there may be better, but corn is pretty good and a safe bet.

AND what were the results of your experiments? corn turned into a repellant for 3 months, deer cocaine gave them googly eyes and made them chase all night and sleep all day, indian corn made them avoid bow set-ups, buck crack - see deer cocaine, apple a day had them hiding looking for the dentist to show up, protein was listed as a PED and was banned during season.... sticks, dirt & white oaks leaves are what seemed to be the best attractants.

If you think it'll work, I'm down.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

My latest experiment is Max-e-glo. They love it now, but come sept 27 they will have no interest.

If you can find Buck Crack, buy as much as you can. If you can't get ahold of any, spin Skittles out of your feeder.
Ok, ok.....I throw corn and have protein year round and use pancake syrup come season.

If your really a pro like me you will use Big Buck Corn versus the regular deer corn or just corn.
