Even more important than which food attractant deer paid the most attention to, notice that the bucks came into the food sources that had more cover around them, while the food on the edge of the wide open food had no bucks come to it and more of the activity was after dark. The best food plots are "Diversity, Wrapped in Security". As long as you offer them a diverse variety of stuff, deer don't care a lot what food sources they have, but they definitely care about feeling secure in the locations where they feed.

[@billkaldem5099]

Yup

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

Okay, but how come I see fifty deer in a fifty acre wheat field in broad daylight? No mature bucks of course, but still.

[@kingrider75]

I have to say I have had nothing but good results with every buck bourbon product I have tried. The feed block works great and lasts a lot longer than a bag of coen

[@tehclefty5317]

I'll never stop enjoying these deer feed test videos... Especially great ones like this with multiple products, great editing & accurate results.

[@stevefarms7494]

I use sweat horse feed and it's under $14 and it works very well... And it's from tractor supply... and it a 50 lbs bag so it can last a long time depending on the amount you put out at a time

[@joshuarichardz6010]

I have the buck bourbon feed and attractant mixed with straight feed corn and they love it! I toss carrot chunks on top they come back every single night they eat it all

[@awildlife4all]

I just watched the video and enjoyed it great job. I’m not a hunter but we do have deer we like to feed in our yard. I went to tractor supply yesterday and got that 40lb bag of feed for $10 and 3 big bucks and a doe ate a lot of it last night.

[@JarredMurphyOutdoors]

I have to say Buck Bourbon is my favorite! Of course I’m biased it’s made in my home state of Ky. Great vid..

[@chasemorgan9105]

Ive used just about all the liquid attractants buck jam, deer cain, straight molases, and last year just started using the big and J liquid and its by far my favorite attractant and great because the turkeys dont destroy it in 1 day like corn and other feed attractants. Good video keep it up.

[@Chris-ip8pz]

You got a good problem I guess if you can’t keep turkeys off your bait. I have the same problem usually but for some reason this year they haven’t been at the corn as much. Been putting corn out every other day for the last 36 days and have only got pictures of 2 gobblers 3 times and haven’t seen them in over a week.

[@JustinWillis-g9v]

Been using Lucky Buck for years now. I've had several button bucks be 6 and 8 pointers for their first set of antlers. I'll use hundreds of pounds each spring/summer. I've had deer spend hours on it.

[@echoauxgen]

The thing to remember about what attracts is while the bucks are growing horns they need minerals. But when the RUT starts all they need is that other attractant. Use rut scent in scrapes and Doe scent on a hand warmer in a sock on a small rope behind you and let hang 50 to 100 yds out or put several in a half circle they will come running but watch your back while going in.

[@garrettmays20]

That buck bourbon should of been in the last championship round. Had huge amounts of deer on it all last season.

[@Outdoorjunkie]

Buck bourbon has worked great for me as well.

[@burnout7702]

[@kennyhaynes8562]

Really like the apple crush mix. The deer love it

[@jerrybenoit5370]

I've been using the Buck Bourbon for a couple years now. The deer in my area really seem to like it.

[@Big88Country]

Good video! I've been wanting to do this at my spot to see which one they go after. I did this with corn a few years ago and I had a huge family of like 9 raccoons just sit on it almost all night. I could imagine them laying around the house with bellies pooched out saying "I shouldn't have had that last helping".

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

They will wipe it right out

[@janecoe9407]

LL,OOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 🤣🤣🤣

[@chads4556]

I've been doing the peanut butter jar screwed to a tree trick this summer and have gotten a really good response. All the animals come in for PB. Might be something to put out there to replace the carrots since your deer don't seem to like them.

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

That's a new one

[@solidrockofjesuschristmini2423]

Everything loves peanut butter 😂 I've used pb alot trapping 😂

[@razorrebel]

If you look at the ingredients on most of these attractants, “grain by-product” is usually the main ingredient. Rice bran is more expensive this year, but still cheaper for 50 pounds than most of these 10 dollar bags. Deer on my lease eat it like candy. They’ll eat 20 pounds in 2 or 3 days.

[@HooligansMx]

The apple crushed 😂 giving the deer a.d.d. one bag at a time

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

😂😂😂 maybe easier to hunt?

[@brianmartin5044]

Got what I needed out this video mix a little b&j with booner blend for the feeder and maybe add a little extra molasses

[@j.timberwolf]

I used bags of Dried Molasses, Antler Max Mineral, Cattle Trace Mineral, Cattle mineral Mix & Fine salt with Yellow Prussiate of soda, 2 cans powdered of cherry kool aids mixed all of it then break & loosen the ground 2 inches depth, 4 feet dia circle, set it few yards away water source for deer. A few months later, the hole was dug up by the deer.

[@lawsonbonner1]

I started the buck bourbon a few weeks back and the deer absolutely test it up.

[@j.timberwolf]

Yes, I had brought it once, not much deer interested in it, only raccoons.

[@fawkurface46]

I find differnt feeds do different things. usually a salt block covered with corn feed with some smashed apples around it works decent. the apples put out more smell to bring em in, the corn gives em somethin to munch on while the salt block will last a long time. they have some liquid apple feed scent stuff I used before it it sticks pretty good and brings em in too

[@shotty5873]

I add 1/3 bag of sweet feed to 1 50lb bag of shelled corn. If u have the money to spare sprinkle C'mere deer on the top or don't.. I just always add some a few days before season opens. I also pour molasses mixed with mineral salt and pour it on a rotten stump and on the ground. I grab a branch as high as I can reach and pull it down and dip the tip in molasses to draw them in to a new spot. I pour a sack of wheat a couple days before the season opens and I also pour a bag a couple weeks before season hits and they tear it up, I pour it around tree stumps so they can't eat all of it what's left they paw in the ground so I have wheat popping up during season. So 1/3 bag of sweet feed to one bag of corn. Molasses and mineral or plain bagged salt mixed for a mineral lick, then pour a bag of wheat 2-3 weeks before season opens then pour another bag of wheat 1-2 days before season opens. It has worked great for me. Add sunflowers to your feed if u know someone that grows them. Piss on your mock scrapes and hope u have luck on your side

[@ROBSwank-pm1vd]

I own 260 acres n rather than blocks I buy a big bag of dicalcium phosphate n mineral salt n mix them n make individual licks .. they make 2 foot holes .. I prefer to use less salt more mineral approximately like 5 to 1 Dical / Salt .. the Salt is really only there as the taste n attractant so to speak the di cal for the antler growth ! I've read they cannot correlate or prove increased antler growth to putting out mineral licks but in my experience seems to help a bit !! Good luck to Everyone shoot Straight n Please Please Stay Safe 😎

[@jimjean2707]

[@matthewwichtner2935]

That's very interesting to see how deer in different states, prefer different foods. Good video

[@nicktowe2558]

Mostly has to do with the time of the year

[@kanehunter23]

Here in Michigan they sell carrots in 50lb bags for deer and it works great but some growers have these huge fat carrots and they don't work, sugar beets work ok need to cut them up a bit but straight corn works the best. corn is always hit first and gone first.

[@SellsZac]

We've done a ton of this testing in Ohio/Kentucky over 1,000 acres, and i'm not sponsored by anyone or anything. Lucky Buck and just straight up feed corn are the runaway winners.

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

[@k.robatasio9471]

Buy a bag of feed corn, dried molasses and mix em together.... that has always been what has given me the best results. Ohhh and its way more cost efficent. If you want some extra scent add some powder drink mix like koolaode or the big jugs of powdered lemonade mix.

I found a bag of cattle minerals last year for super cheap because the bag was ripped so I tried it just to see what would happen and had really good movement on it within a couple hours of dumping the bag out. Matter of fact the deer have dug a hole in the ground where I put it

[@VinceA-jq6ds]

I've been using trace mineral salt for cattle. I mix it into the dirt. All the critters hit it, not just deer. Couldn't get the stuff a couple of years back so I put out a block. Not one critter touched it!

Ive had the best success with big tine 30/06 and their protein plus blend. Compared to plain corn last summer my target buck came in maybe once a day to corn but the week when id spend extra money on the big tine feeds he was coming in twice a day and staying there a lot longer

Nice video I’ve had lots of success with the wildlife sugar beet blend. But another mineral I’ve used is a product called lucky buck. Thanks for showing this very interesting

[@TWO_GENDERS]

Lucky buck is mainly just salt. Go to tractor supply and get a Producer Pride general purpose mineral block. It’s 40lbs and $18 and will have deer on it every single day and it’s actually has everything they need in it! I’ve literally tried every single mineral and attractant out there and this is the best.

[@blauer2551]

I used the alfalfa cubes from TSC and covered them with Lucky buck and dumped a gallon of Kool-Aid over it all, it did alright

I love these videos. That being said, I have to ask this question again: if you're putting several attractants in one place, how do you know which of them actually attracted the deer?

[@Fctsdntcarebouturfeelings]

Not sure where you are located but on my property in the mountains of Ky (that's all I'm saying) the apple corn is the favorite. I believe that most all neighboring properties and farms are using regular corn except for a good friend of mine, who is a mile down the road. He puts out some expensive cherry flavored bait, that I can't remember the name of right now. All I know is that for the past 2 years, the bucks that everyone are wanting, move from my property to his farm. The competition is fun and I get to rub it in when I get THE buck he and the guys on his youtube channel are after 😂. And, with bait that costs a quarter of the price of what they're paying for the "fancy" stuff. Seriously, 50lbs every other day or so is expensive. People can knock baiting all they want. I know they do and will. I really don't care. One, a lot of us are older now and either disabled or have medical conditions that limits our ability to move as much or as far as we could 10-15 years ago 😅. When you young pupps get arthritis in both knees along with a torn meniscus, talk to me about "real hunting" when your hunting land stretches for miles. My stands are between 100 to 250 yards from my home, depending on which side of the street. If my 4 wheeler were down, I couldn't hunt. Enjoy your youth and health while you are young!

[@DRBR-2020]

Interesting test and a fun video (thank you for doing this!), but a better test would have spread the different products out a very large distance from one another. They all work to a certain degree and they were too close to each other to determine which one was doing the heavy lifting. Just because they might eat one first doesn't mean that it was the product that attracted them to the test site. In my own limited testing, Buck Bourbon was definitely not worth the money and I'll not use it again (simple, cheap deer corn was far better)... but I see from the comments that others have had good success with it.

[@bendavids-kb2ed]

Awesome video

[@dionysis84]

The regular cheap trace mineral block works best and is the cheapest plus probably really good for the deer

[@jaredb9909]

I’m in PA too and I’ve had the same experience with carrots I’ve even put out the little baby carrots you get already peeled and everything and they don’t touch them which is weird cause if I plant daikon radishes which are long and slim like carrots they just wear them out

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

Must be they don't know what they are?

[@jaredb9909]

Could be because I had the same experience with sorghum I planted it for a couple years as a screen and they didn’t touch it but once they realized the grain head was food they eat it up now but they didn’t eat any of it for like 2 seasons…grows easier than corn though so I would recommend it if you’re in an area without much Ag around

I was reading the comments. There is science at work with carrots. Use the carrots for deer in the winter. Deer know what and when to eat based on their body, pregnant or antler grows stages. Carrots are extremely hi in sugars and carbs, and they know they dont need until extreme cold
