Homemade deer attractant

[cookiemonster]

Does anyone have some recipes? They have so much different stuff now and it's expensive. Looking for something I can make at home. Thanks.

I'm not doing this but a buddy of mine takes his wife's used tampons and keeps them in film containers. He will hang them in trees about waist height like a tinks scent bomb

I will never be that desperate!!!

I agree with the Doe urine. Kill ya one and cut out the tinkle bag.

Plain old Vanilla works wonders on a drag rag and hanging in trees

A buddy of mine told me about this. I'm about to try it out today! Nail the lid of a peanut butter jar to a tree, cut off the very bottom of the PB jar and screw it back onto the lid. He said that the deer will go crazy for it, but I would think it would disturb them. Ever seen what a dog does if you give him peanut butter? I also heard about punching holes in a bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and putting a bunch of apples in there to let them ferment. I will try both and let you know the results.

Think I'm gonna pass on this one.

Is there any kind of mix y'all know of like salt, sugar, or anything like that. Gonna try peanut butter.

Go to Sam's club and find the biggest can of grape "kool-aid" you can find.

You have peaked my interest, sir! Have you quantified this against any others? Say; Rrice bran for instance, or acorns?

No, my brother in law told me about it last year. He showed me a picture of a deer that still had purple powder on his nose when he got shot. I usually sprinkle it over a pile of corn. If you get the non brand name, it cheaper. I'm sure any flavor will work, but I get grape.

This is probably the most unconventional suggestion I have heard of; and I have heard some doozies!

I will humor your brother-in-law in my test lab. I have the quintessential test subjects where I hunt. This should be interesting.

I will report back my findings.

Yep, the peanut butter trick works pretty well. And cheap at that. It is amazing how clean they will get a container.

I know a guy that was using big red and corn, tagged out and had a few people tagged out on it after. Plus he was killin hogs like crazy on it.

I've heard wonders about grape kool-aid and big red for hogs

I've had good success with plain old vanilla extract when bow hunting..

I put some on the laces of my boots before I walk to my stand, then pour some in the middle of my shooting lane.

When a deer cuts your trail, they get really curious. I've even had them track me all the way to my tree, and then mill around directly under me for a time....

I have a food plot that is not hunted very much that will be my test area. There's not a whole lot of deer in area, so it may take a while. In one corner regular corn feeder. Next corner, corn with some grape cool-aid. Next corner peanut butter. One more corner open to ideas. Maybe just plain rice bran, or another recipe? I will report back with conclusion. I do know the vanilla mixed with water makes a good scent cover also.

I'm speechless

The used tampon idea may work to keep other hunters out of your area! I for one am out-a-here!
