Him and his grandson would go to the bulk food barn for peanut butter and smear it in the bark of the a jack pine and the deer would go crazy over it. I find that anything that looks trapish or trappy. ..dear in my area avoid it...I am going to try this at some point on a hemlock.

If was going try peanut butter this year, but I brought three pumpkins out instead. The only thing that touched the pumpkins were the rodents. Not even the Ravens were interested. I tried apples a few years ago with no luck either.

I hunt the bush on crown land with no real farming nearby. I'm thinking that these are foreign foods to the deer in the area and they avoid them as a result. I might try a food plot this spring and see if that helps.

like a 1/2 bushel of apples laying in the middle of a pine forest
