Has anyone ever used Purina’s Dobbins Delights - Apples and Oats horse treats to attract deer? I found these at Tractor supply if they would work http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/purinareg%3B-dobbins-delights-apple--oat-flavored-horse-treats#

I have used Dobbins Delight and the deer seem to love them. At least they were gone the next day when I put them out around my feeder and on the roadways. By the way, feeders were in a fenced pen to keep the hogs out.

I've used sweet feed with great results. Deer walk past corn to get to it.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

The reason for my question, when I was at tractor supply I noticed a really strong smell of apples and found it to be the apples and oats horse feed. I’ve had good luck with apple scented corn for deer and was thinking it just may be worth a try.

The deer love horse sweet feed. I watched them fight over it while I had 50 lbs of corn spread out on the ground. Too bad its expensive and will clog up your feeders but other than that the deer love it.

Too bad its expensive and will clog up your feeders but other than that the deer love it. These cubes are too big to run threw a feeder so I was thinking of pouring them on the ground. I've been doing this for years. I purchase a couple 50 lb. bags of horse and mule sweet feed and spread it under the feeders. The deer go nuts over it. and will come back for more. It works very well at the last 3 places we have hunted and the last being Coleman. The deer love the molassis surip in the feed. When I go to my blind I'll take a 2 gallon bucket full of sweet feed and pour it around the feeder and the deer will clean up every grain or pellet every time. It's candy to them. I use Purina sweet feed. I'm sure any brand horse and mule sweet feed will work. Also the grains they dont eat will germinate and start to grow which is another plus.

I put out Dobbins during deer season..... the coons loved the treat I set out for them
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
