    Yeah corn puts on the fat but I want something nutritional that will draw them.There are lots of things better for them than corn I am just looking for something different.Seems everyone uses corn.

    :lol:Just kidding...I've heard that BB2 works really well and at the same time is really nutritional..It's pretty expensive but i'm guessing if you want something that actually helps the deer you'll have to pay a little more. jmo

    I normally draw on my deer when they are broadside. Idk about you guys?

    Definately check out the white oaks. I just killed mine under one yesterday. The love the sound of acorns hitting the ground.

    Even though I was tempted to make a wise crack about artistic ability, I'll save it. My question to you is this: Do you want to use this item as a food source or as a bait? The two have different answers in my opinion.

    I normally charge people to draw a deer. lol! I'd try using some of the acorn rage. I poured some of this over a stump last year and 3 days later the deer had eaten the stump to the ground.

    Plant plots. if you can't do that put out corn. If you don't like corn then get some mineral block. I use BB2 for trail cameras and such and it works great. Couldn't ask for better attractant. Deer love it to. So does squirrels raccoons and turkeys.

    White oaks, White oaks, White oaks. If you find a good acorn flat, you've hit a good spot. Also a little trick my grandpa tought me is fill your pockets with little rocks and occasionaly throw 1 or 2 rocks under the tree you're hunting over. If there deer are close and hear that sound they will come in most of the time thinking they are acorns hitting the ground. Just something to help. Good luck.

    Monster Raxx Trophy Minerals and Whitetail Magnet are great at attracting deer. Our mineral is low in salt and has the vitamins and minerals that deer need. The Magnet is an oil based attractant that could be sprayed on food plots, corn, pellets and even stumps to draw deer in. Good luck this season.

    Actually there is nutritional value to corn as long as its cracked. Whole kernal corn doesnt do them any good but make em fat.
