With the recent "dry spell" and the possible resulting effects on the acorn crop I have been thinking of trying the Acorn Rage product by Wildgame Innovations to try to attract a few more deer within a reasonable distance of my stands. I have also read about a new product they have called the Acorn Rage Drop Block. Does anybody recommend or discourage these products. The three properties I primarily hunt are not polluted with deer, but the opportunity is there to see them as they pass through.

I put the Acorn Rage to camera test couple of years ago, not one deer on film touching the stuff. Will tell ya what will work, Trophy Rock and it's legal to hunt over.

I don't think it's been dry enough to harm the acorn crop.

Yet...

Find acorns, or food plot and you will be on deer most of the time.
