Have any of you guys made up your own homebrew recipe for a deer attractant? I read online about a guy who mixed up some syrup, corn, sugar, etc. and "cooked" it in a skillet on the stove for a while, and after it hardened up he put it out with a camera on it. He told me it only lasted two days, so despite the fact that he only had about $4 in it, it just doesn't last long enough in the woods. Y'all got any thoughts on this?
No need to cook it, just mix the dry ingredients and pour it into an old stump or prepared depression Here is one I tried, it worked good but later I just bought cattle mineral blocks, optionally you can water it in, but works either way, and rain will water it in soon enough.
Mix Recipe Ingredients: Makes 200 lbs, for multiple sites.
• 1 part DiCalcium Phosphate, this is a dairy feed additive bought at feed stores. Comes in 50lb Bags, need one bag.
• 2 parts Trace mineral salt, the red and loose kind without the medications. Comes in 50lb Bags, you need two bags.
• 1 part Stock salt, ice cream salt. Comes in 50lb Bags, you need one bag.
• 1 box of Wash Mineraling Soda (sodium carbonate) per mix
Directions: -Use a 3 pound or similar size coffee can to use as your measure for each part of the mix. -Mix all together well but not until ready to use, keep ingredients separate until ready to put to use. -Dig or tear up a circle in the soil about 36 inches wide and about 6 inches deep. -Mix your mineral mixture with the soil.
Method two: Put salt in a burlap sand bag and hang it from a tree branch
Maintenance: -Replenish in 6 months with fresh supply of mineral, and then each year there after.
