Homemade deer attractant - 08/06/12 11:29 AM
Morning,
I had taken a recipe off from here on a homemade deer attractant that used confectioner sugar {powder sugar) Salt jello or kool-aide and a few other ingredients. I probably could wing it but I was hoping if someone had the recipe if they could repost it.
Thank you

Idk about that one but I've had great luck with this paticular mix.
1 bag trace mineral 50lb bag runs about $5
1 bottle of vanilla extract/molasses $1-3
1bag of standard feed salt runs bout $8
mix will then fill up 3lb coffee cans or buckets dig a small hole near a stump or rotting limb cover the stumb and fill the whole then poor a bottle or 2 of water on it and just let nature do the rest.
the deer will keep coming to this mix for a long time

Found the one I was looking for.
I substituted strawberry jello for koolaid. I was really impressed how well it worked. I know corn work great but I like to give my deer a little variety (LOL) It was neat though to see were the deer pawed the ground getting to it.
2 lbs powered sugar
2 lbs baking soda
2 lbs of mineral salt or table salt
3 packs of Grape Koolaid
