[@Shoalie]

I enjoy watching your DIY videos on deer attractants. Out of all of your recipes, what have you found to work the best for deer?

[@trakstr22]

How’s it going? I live in North Carolina and I used your recipe. Poured the mixture straight into the dirt and that same night the deer were already digging for it. Great stuff

[@NBWildman]

hey that's great !! glad it helped you out, and thanks for watching

[@tylerwest9297]

Ingredients 1. 2 liters of warm water 2. Half a bag of icing sugar. About 1 pound 3. 1 pound of table salt.(or salt of your preference) 4. 1 box of cherry jello. 5. 2 liters of apple juice. 6. 1 package of Certo

[@dennismosley9163]

Do it work

[@heatherrines3036]

I made this recipe last year for open season. First night a 6 point buck wandered in behind 2 does. Will be using this year, this week for open season. Great stuff thanks for sharing! Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦

[@RobertSpillman-k8v]

We used tang juice mix back in the 80s worked marvelous.

[@NBWildman]

Yep for sure. Tang is super strong scent. Good tip

[@marc-antoineallard9317]

It smell exactly like the buck jam that i buy at the store. But it wont get that gooey texture. Its closer to water. I will try it anyway but it might wash away pretty quick with the rain

[@NBWildman]

i try and soak this recipe into a rotting log or tree stump, seems to hold it and work better

[@jasonmaxwell7558]

With Chronic waste Disease(WSD) aka blue tongue getting to be more ramped would the buck jams in Molasses flavor and the apple flavor be better off on stumps and logs versus the dirt. The dirt is where they are getting the parasites. Maybe even building a cheap pvc pipe feeder?? Questions and food for thought.

[@NBWildman]

Good suggestion, I often use stumps and logs...however i can't see this being any different than when deer eat the dirt and mud looking for natural minerals in the spring?

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

Or just learn how to hunt?!?!

[@jasonmaxwell7558]

James W I know how to hunt! A good hunter wants healthy deer. A great hunter helps maintain and improve the deer population. Then you got bush league hunters that don’t know anything and shoot the first thing they see. Which are you

[@stanpidgurskyjr297]

[@stanpidgurskyjr297]

@nbwildman .do you have a list of what's used?

[@GerryOsmond]

Do you stay with the same mixture at a particular site for the year or do you alternate mixtures?

[@NBWildman]

I try and stay with the same mixture once I start using it. If I wanna switch I do it after I tag out or at the beginning of next season

[@zachbrazeau3886]

Theres a apparently a table salt shortage in ontario 😂😂 think i can use kosher or sea salt if i dissolve it?

[@NBWildman]

i would think sea salt would work, or even crushed road salt...

[@landonhecht6986]

Could I make this with the exact ingredients that you use for the wild berry buck jam?? Just use the concentrated apple juice, and a cherry jello, then the salt, and corn syrup, and water, and the sodium carbonate laundry booster?? Do ya think that would turn out fine??

[@NBWildman]

can't see why not

[@Lalonde79]

Can you make a bunch of this or molasses and store it at home? If so for how long? If not how long is shelf life?

[@NBWildman]

you can make up a bunch, but i would watch the temperature, feed molasses will expand and release some gasses at a slow rate, but i have had some bottles swell and break if you don't store them at a consistent temp.

[@lorinkramer1524]

I hope no offense if I comment on your deer lure with marshmallows in it on this site; I can't find the other sire. Your recipe calls for a large pack of cherry kool-aid. The dollar store was out of cherry so I used hawaiian-punch. Deer didn't seem to mind, they loved it! Ha ha!! Thanks for great videos!!

[@Tacticalyakker]

@@NBWildman I was just messing with ya some good stuff I never knew you could make. I defiantly going to try some of your recipes.

[@dgoutdoorschannel]

I would love to make your apple flavored buck jam but here in Indiana any area is considered baited 10 days after removal of the bait so when I use buck grub or a corn flavored salt block I have to removed it at least two weeks before I hunt so it's not considered baited :(

[@angelbarbosa7835]

Tree stump work a lot better, than pouring it on the ground

[@joeellis2692]

I can't use bait period. Liquid is best for me just because of concealment.

[@NBWildman]

if you poor it on an old stump well before season it may hold some scent for season...?

[@rickhodge6482]

In order to surpass the bait law, you put the bait one place, then hunt the routes to the bait. Find how they are getting to the bait and hunt off of it on their travel route. At least 75 yds for archery, 100 yds for gun and primitive. Learned this from an LDWF agent.

[@tylerrobertst-rob1731]

I have my own version of this I add some Comega Supreme in mine for the extra fat and omega fatty acids. Deer love it good bate source and good source of extra nutrients for early spring and thru the summer. I add some extra vitamins and calcium in for spring and summer

[@Eric-gi9kg]

[@BritishAirwaysCaptin]

Any idea how to make this thicker more like molasses?

[@johnhardin4187]

hey 2nd batch add some applesause to thicken the batch

[@NBWildman]

Good idea....I'll try that

[@DoctorColg8]

pouting. Assume you could add a jar of Apple Sauce instead of the apple juice, perhaps even some crushed or diced apples (food processor). How about adding 1 cup corn meal (in the molasses jam vs flour?) Thanks NB

[@NBWildman]

Sounds great!

[@bailey_mac]

Thank you for making these videos

[@NBWildman]

Your welcome...and thanks for watching....

[@robertcaudill1660]

Could you use the apple juice as half the liquid in the molasses buck jam?

[@NBWildman]

you can but it's a waste really, the Molasses scent overpowers the apple juice, and you don't gain anything from it...

[@Bobb1julie]

Nicely presented.. Would you recommend this mixture to be poured over CHESTNUTS 🌰? Thank you!!

[@NBWildman]

Yes you can!, lots of protein and this flavor should be a winner

[@noahdavis4011]

I cant find serto. Will xanthum gum work? Its a thickner, no real flavor don't think

[@NBWildman]

should be fine, the certo acts as a preservative as well

[@rickyribble1911]

I tried making this and I believe I did it correctly but it was very watery and not thick. Do I do something wrong? Or anyway to make it thicker?

[@NBWildman]

sometimes the jello doesn't do it's thing correctly, the product will still work, but if you want it thicker you can add either corn syrup or applesauce to the mix

[@EDOutdoors91]

Can you list the ingredients please. Im from the south and can not make out that last ingredient to save my life, liquid something or another

[@NBWildman]

Certo...Liquid Certo, it's a preservative used in the making of jams and jelly's

Mine never did jell up just stayed like water . I dont know why ?

[@NBWildman]

try adding some gelatin mix and cooling

[@mikemacdude]

How do the bears like this stuff? We could probably never use that where I am in NS. Bears be all over it I think.

[@NBWildman]

Bears will like the smell of it and will sniff around at first. But since there is no food they won’t stay long. I get a few walking by and checking it out. But they don’t stay if there is nothing to eat

[@mikemacdude]

@@NBWildman good to hear then, I'm going to give it a try. Thanks!

[@t.j.mitchell04Archery]

I made this yesterday and let it sit over night, though it's more "liquidy" than I think it should be. The Certo and Jello never really thickened it up, I'm going to use it and I like the concept of it. I just think it needs to be a thicker, not quite thick like molasses, but should be much thicker than water.

[@NBWildman]

yes, i find that for some reason it doesn't always thicken up like i would like, if you want you can add some corn syrup to thicken it and it will still work great

[@t.j.mitchell04Archery]

@@NBWildman So I tried another batch and doubled the jello portion and the certo.. All it did was create a film on the top for the certo and it's still pretty much just water. I'm now slowly adding mixed hot water and corn starch to make this thick. I put the first batch out and all it did was soak into the ground and nothing came. You have way too much water and apple juice in this to make it thick with the little bit of jello and certo you are adding. I think it should be more like a thicker pancake batter, not water.

[@tristanhamel1839]

T.J. Mitchell i’m thinking about doing this and mixing it up with corn and sweet feed for the deer hunting season... what is your recipe cause i’d also like it to be thicker

[@Day12My]

Put it in a pot and boil some of the water out of it. It will thicken up OR don't put as much water in to begin with

[@randyrosenau9266]

How long will your apple jam hold for before it's unusable ? Can I make a few of these a couple months before I want to use it ?

[@NBWildman]

as long as you keep it sealed in a cool spot should be good for a couple months i'd think

[@tterexx426]

@@NBWildman thanks!

[@tterexx426]

Sooo, i gave it a first try in my hunting area, which was given up by the previous owner because he never got any deer. I was also getting desperate already, hadn't seen a single deer since the first of May (when season is starting here and usually you see lots of them), even if i had been out mornings and evenings almost every day, more than 15 times for several hours. I put that mixture out. The same evening, nothing was at the trail camera - the next evening, a deer! And it was busy several minutes at the stump over which i poured the mixture. So, it seems like this is working for very shy european roe deer also, and it's working quite well. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I don't know if it's just my area or what but we tried this and had video of deer coming to the corn and sniffing and then walking around it as if they were trying to avoid the area. That went on for 3 or 4 days and we finally had to shovel the corn up and through it away then scrap the ground and then put fresh corn down before the deer would start back eating the corn.
