the ONLY commercial product ive used is c'mere deer. i have never used cover scents EVER and i actually smoke in my treestand when im bowhunting. cover scents and lure scents are bogus SAVE your money and invest it in good equipment instead. For ALL you NON believers ive harvested a buck and 4 does each year for the past 8 years using nothing but camo clothing and a tree stand.

I have a pea food plot about 50 yards from where I mainly hunt. The deer have already attacked it and the plants aren't even fully grown!! I have also used a mineral block. I put it out last year and half of it is still remaining.

persimmon scented deer corn. its about 5 bucks for a 50 lb bag. and also spend the time to make a good food plot, atleast a half of an acre. and seed it with something like bio-logic or some other reputable deer plot seed. and make sure there is a water source near also. if not, make one. small pond or just bury some 55 gallon drums that are cut in half long ways and fill them with water regularly. and make sure and place all of your attractants close to cover.

Lily,
Why do you come in the hunting category and tell people its mean. Go to beauty or something.
As far as attracting more deer, I would suggest the lightest hunting pressure possible, and food plots. I have never had food plots but they are obviously a good thing to have. I have tried "baiting" with corn or apples but have not seen any drastic changes in success hunting over bait. Make sure you check your states laws as it is illegal in some states to bait deer.

plant a food plot and have good bedding areas that are undisturbed. The c'mere deer products seem to draw deer in also. But the best is food plots. Feeding plots and smaller hunting food plots.

Brush piles ,thickets will do almost as much good as a food plot. They need somewhere they feel safe to hide. Soy beans & sweet potatos are amongst the deer favorite food.

if your really serious..plant food plots year round. find what forage grows best in your area in each season of the year. also create sanctuary areas to help hold deer on your property, once they get there.

I've had good results using a stock tank partially sunk in the ground, filled with water, and a couple gallons of molasses. They like the sweet water.

food such as feed will draw them out as well as added scents such as other deer. If you are a hunter you know the scent i am talkin about.
