GRAPE KOOL-AID MIX CORN VS CORN FOR DEER! WHICH WILL WIN?

I poured 2 piles of deer corn out. In one pile, I poured grape kool-aid mix in it and in the other pile its just deer corn. Sorry about the thumbnail. I was having problems uploading it. All the deer that came in preferred the grape kool-aid corn over the regular. The SD card memory was full in 3 days so I didn't get to see what else came in. A 7 point buck came in about 6 different times and every time he ate the grape kool-aid pile. THE GRAPE KOOL-AID MIX CORN WINS! I hope you enjoyed the video and always LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!

[@intheshoptv]

The issues Ive noticed with the kool aid trick is that, like all other additives that people add to corn piles is, if it gets rained on continually, the entire pile gets clumped and full of mold whereas the straight corn will not. Happened to me recently and once the pile gets ruined, the deer wanted nothing to do with it.

[@richpaydirt]

I used a product on corn last year called Corn Coat and it works great in my area. It’s a super -concentrated, corn sugar. Looks like powdered sugar and so strong that 4 ounces treats a 50 lb bag of corn, oats or whatever. The super sweet smell brings deer for miles and they preferred it 2-1 over regular corn. I’m using it again this year. Some have said it doesn’t work in their part of the country though. Hit or miss.

[@dwnsouthboy]

Firm believer of Cmere deer corn coat for my feeders. Start that out early before season and as winds change the smell gets out there and will 100% recruit bucks. I had a camera set up for a month and nada! Then found out about this stuff. Used it and a few weeks later I had 6 really decent shooter bucks on camera. Opening day took one of them that was 10 and measured 141. Love using corn coat in feeders.

[@TheCW284]

@@dwnsouthboy so did it work?

[@TheCW284]

What’s the brand

[@dwnsouthboy]

@@TheCW284 it’s always worked for me. Corn Coat by C’mere Deer. It’s a real fine powder that smells like candy and coats the corn. Used in a broadcast feeder it will cause a cloud of dust when it goes off and that dust will hit the wind and start to coat leaves and trees all around your site. As winds change it helps recruit bucks as the pass by and travel around. It’s always been money for me. Everyone I told about has had good success with it too.

[@beebop9808]

I feed the deer here at my house year round with different things. Corn and blocks most often along with an always present mineral block. They love anything sweet and will show preference to different offerings but they eat anything out there. Nothing changes their feeding patterns though. I also never see them gorging themselves on feed offered. They eat some and move on picking leaves and typical browsing as they leave. There are a lot of deer here and they move around in small groups. Most of the time I see them at the same times of the day or night. Same groups. They vary a little but not too much. Except at hunting season when they lay low during the day for a while, even though they aren't hunted here.

[@HappyHermitt]

I've seen bait disappear faster once most of the browse is gone. Same as you noticed, they nibble a bit and move on.

About twenty years ago an old friend of mine used to have a problem with raccoons, so he started trapping them in a live trap and letting them go in the mayor's yard. He'd let the raccoons go at the crack of dawn before the mayor woke up. Over a period of a couple of months he took over twenty raccoons over to her house. He used Cocoa Puffs for bait. I was surprised that Cocoa Puffs would work as raccoon bait. He said "When they get that sweet tooth going they can't resist Cocoa Puffs." I wonder if Cocoa Puffs would work as deer bait.

I've read in articles up north after so many freezes the turnips turn sweet and the deer start eating the crap out of them.

Several old timers used to use this on their feed. Grape kool-Aid or strawberry jello packs. I wouldn't use a whole bunch of kool-aid beacause it doesn't take much to mix it in with your feed. I've bought salt, big 6 mineral salt, and grape kool-aid to make mineral sites to and the deer love it. I've been to several feed stores and they're a ton of deer feeds to choose from. Some of that feed is so strong sweet smelling and I know has sugar in it. This one feed has rice bran, salt, sugar, roasted peanuts mill and soybeans. So, it is not harmful to the deer in my opinion.
