Salt licks work great and attract a lot of big bucks (at least for the cameras). All you have to do is dig a little hole and put about 100lbs of mineralized salt in it.

Big & J Feed/Supplement works amazing. The deer destroy it but its kind of expensive.

We mix our own mineral, based off the label of Whitetail Institute 30-06 Mineral Supplement. We put this out throughout the summer.

Rice Bran - my favorite. I mix some of the Ruttin Apples in it. I put this out during the season and hunt over it, or late summer/early fall in front of my cameras.

Corn and soybeans in the feeders.

I have heard the deer destroy it. Girlfriends dad said they used to fill up the truck bed before each season

You will not be sorry. Put it in front of a cam. The deer will look like Al Pacino in Scarface with the bran all over their noses.

I had my uncle bring me in a few bags a couple of weeks ago. I set it out and I am going back this weekend to see if my Texas deer like Rice Bran. Should be something totally new to them.

Tractor supply does not sell it....I had mine brought in from La. My uncle has a local feed store he gets his from.

The bag did say the bran came out of Crowley, La.

Rice bran is good but the only problem with it is that if it gets wet it's ruined. Even high humidity will ruin it. It's better than corn for attracting them though in my opinion.

I'm wondering has anybody ever tried sweet feed for cattle and see how it does? I know that stuff smells so good I'd eat with a bowl and some milk.
