Anyone ever made their own deer attractant blocks? How was the response from the deer? Have seen numerous videos on youtube. I was thinking getting an old crawfish pots and a burner, melting down some caramel candies, add lots of brown sugar, lots of Karo Syrup, kool aid, water or red drank. Add some deer corn, and oatmeal to thicken it up. Put into some plastic containers to harden and then put on ground like a Block. Similar to the Big and J block. Anyone ever tried? results?

Better nail that candy crack to a tree; the bagou might run off with it.

Guaranteed to attract any hog within 30 miles...
It sounds fun, I know. But I've made a few. It is a royal pain in the arse. Cleanup is a bitch, and just comes out wayyyyy too much like work. Just buy some sweet feed from the feed store if you want to go the sweet route to attract deer.

thanks thats what I was afraid of was attracting hogs. Ofcourse was thinking about how much of a pain the clean out would be.

Several years ago I went to the sugar mill and got a 5 gallon bucket of molasses, mixed it with corn, rice bran, couple other things. Had grand ideas about how good my new blocks would be. Boiled it all up in an old crawfish pot and poured it into molds. Not only did it not set up and perform like I expected, but the by product was something that would rival tar in stickiness and longevity. Sooooooo wasn't worth it.

I tried making a persimmon flavored block topper one time. When I got done I realized that there's a reason that there are people whose job is to formulate these sort of things.
They have the knowledge, equipment, and materials to do it right for a cheaper price. Just go buy a deer block.
