    Sounds messy and kind of expensive, I have used grape kool-aid the presweetened and dumped it dry on a stump the rain does the rest.

    sure, its pretty much what Stump Licker attractant is, and by the gallon its a similar cost. I like the idea of adding salt.

    I tried it but had no luck. Stupid deer don't know what's good for them.

    Molasses or Grape, or Strawberry Jello powder can be smelled a mile away. Deer like the sweet taste.

    100lbs of corn works better than anything you can put sweet on a stump
