    Wanted to use some feed that deer cant resist, I do not hunt food plots, but would like to keep something in the woods (after all the acorns are gone) to keep the deer from visiting the neighbors to often. Any proven suggestions. I put about 10 punds of sweet feed out and it was gone in a day and half with more bucks on my camera than i have ever had. a few that i have never seen before.

    I use corn and soak it in corn syrup. Corn syrup is cheap and it's sticky enough that the rain doesn't wash it away. I have had great results with it. I have pondered on using sweet feed but corn is cheaper in my neck of the woods.
