12% sweet feed pellets work well for me.

Also rice bran mixed with some stock salt, dried molasses and cracked corn.

Find a super sweet water oak....they will step over any attractant for those acorns!

Good Luck!

Liquid root beer.

Mix in bucket with water.

Pour over corn and close lid a few days. Stir it daily.

Corn will soak it all up and the come running

Edit: I've sprinkled grape kool-aid packs and mixed with hands in a pinch

Apples, crabapples, pears, persimmons. Plums but way too early. Lotta work years ago paying off now, plus got almost year round production in case Biden won't let me buy groceries.

Neighbors plant soybeans, but they gone by November. May be adding next year. About 40 acres worth. Will probably be a half acre POS but you never know.

whatever i can put on the ground. I hunt a pine plantation with very little oak bottoms. Most of the time i feed JA ultimate grub. Ill put sweet feed in the spring and summer months.

I do have a stand over the feed, but wont kill many big bucks like that. So i have another stand about 200 yards away in oak bottom to catch them between bedding and feed.

Sugar cubes. Use while bow hunting. Dump from stand right below you. Young deer love it.

I’ve heard if you put this on public land, it’s really difficult for other people, including green jeans, to see. But that’s just what I’ve heard.

I hunt in south Texas and i have literally tried almost everything. They wouldn't touch rice brand, Big&J, Acorn Rage, protein feed blocks, etc. I would put a plain pile of corn out and next to it I would put corn out with either Big&J or rice bran on the corn. The deer would eat every piece of the pile that was just corn and wouldn't touch the pile with the rice bran or Big&J. I wanted to find some form of protein that they would eat an finally last year i incorporated some sweet feed pellets that's intended for horses and i mixed it with corn and they started to eat it. Basically just plain old corn works best where I'm at.
