Late season deer attractant

Me and a few friends got permission to hunt 800 acres the next two weeks. All hardwoods and brush, no fields of any kind for miles around it. The only problem we have is that it is 2 hours away and we are only goin down this weekend and next. The plan is too take a four wheeler and set two corn piles with cameras over them. Hunt the sets all this weekend, come back next Friday, check cams and hunt that weekend. I was wondering it anyone could throw up some ideas about other attractants that deer would be craving and would visit regularly. Most of these deer have probably never seen an ag field in there entire life and this is in SE Ohio.

if you can use it corn is about the best thing you can use..

 

This time of year look for any thing green. Also in my area we had a lot of acorns drop this year and the deer are still eating them now. look for large white oak groves and check the area for scat. If there is not a lot of green vegetation around, check green briar thickets. They will a lot of that once its really cold.

 

Throw out something sweet and smelly too and add it to the corn, swamp donkey or something like that.

 

We're taking 600lbs of corn this weekend for 3 blinds we're making. Then coming back the next weekend to hunt Saturday and Sunday.

It looks like the Ohio/PA area is supposed to get some snow the end of this week so greens would be a good option. When we get a lot of snow we put out some alfalfa bales like they do in Saskatchewan. If the snow isn't going to stick some sugary attractants would work good.

 

we use corn in the late season in KY it is the best thing we have found and really helps us reach out doe management goals..especially If you have no Ag fields and most of the green browse and acorns are gone

 

Try some premixed sugar added grape koolaid mix dumped on the corn, set up a cam and check out the pics. Deer are junk food junkies

 

After checking the cams it looks like the deer have just found the corn in 2 of 3 spots. We have one shooter coming in late at night.

nothing brings in late season deer like a non feeder corn pile.....all these boys nailed it.

 

I'm no expert by far but apples and corn seems to be the ticket where I'm at. There is a orchard 5 minutes from my house and corn isn't hard to find.

 

So what were the results? Did you guys get any deer on the ground? It has been a few weeks.
