I have always put corn out in front of my cameras for better picture taking opportunities. But, corn is so expensive and those raccoon bandits steal so much of it, I have tried to come up with an alternative. I was at my mom's yesterday and she had just come from the feed store and had 3 big tubs - (probably 50lbs.) of something called "sweet lix". They make it for horses, cows, goats, etc. It is a tub of hardened molasses with nutrients, minerals and salt. Has anyone ever tried this for attracting deer to your cameras? I just wondered how it would work. I would imagine it would work quite well and last a long time.

I've got a buddy that use to put out something called "sweet feed" and it worked great!

"Sweet feed" is also a horse feed.

The sweetlix is not sweet feed. It is a tub full of solid, hard molasses. My mom gets a 50 lbs. tub for $20. It would not be eaten like grains or corn but licked, like a salt block. I would think it would last for a long time. Maybe several months.

Not around here it won't! Lucky if it lasts 3 weeks. Between deer and rain, they won't last long.
