Deer Attractants

Deer move on their own schedule, but they’re creatures of habit once something earns their attention. A mineral block on a travel corridor gets revisited. A scent dripper timed right turns a one-time visitor into a pattern. Get it wrong and you’ve got a expensive mud hole nobody’s using. Blocks, liquid attractants, scent drippers, and cover scents are all here. What works in the Ozarks in October isn’t always what worked in August, so it helps to have options.

Helpful Questions & Answers

Find answers to common questions about Deer Attractants from the Nixa Hardware & Seed Co team.

What Is The Best Deer Attractant

We find that it is hard to argue with the results people get using the Buck Lickers blocks or those Antler King roasted bean mixes. These Deer Attractants are built to appeal to a deer’s nose and stomach at the same time, which is usually a winning combination if you want them to stick around. If you are looking for something that lasts, a solid mineral lick like Trophy Rock is our go-to choice for the long haul. For something with a bit more punch, we have noticed the liquid Deer Attractants like Deer Co-Cain Black Magic tend to get the ground torn up pretty quickly. We suggest matching the product to the season, as their tastes change just like ours do when the weather starts to turn cold.

How To Attract Deer Fast

We have found that using highly aromatic Deer Attractants like the 4S Corn Spike or the Buck Bomb rut kits is the quickest way to get a reaction from the woods. These products are designed to trigger a deer’s curiosity or their appetite almost immediately after you put them out. We suggest applying these Deer Attractants to low-hanging branches or directly onto the soil to create a “hot spot” that stands out from the natural surroundings. If you have a trail camera out, you will likely see results much faster than you would with a standard mineral block alone. It is all about making your area the most interesting place in the timber for a hungry buck to visit on his morning commute.

How To Use A Salt Block To Attract Deer

Our team has found that setting a mineral block on a high stump keeps it from washing away into the red clay too quickly. These Deer Attractants work best when you let a few rains hit them, allowing the salt to seep into the wood and soil so the deer keep coming back long after the block has shrunk. We like to establish these spots tucked away in the Southwest Missouri hills where the herd feels safe. It’s a low-maintenance way to use Deer Attractants to help the locals thrive without having to check a feeder every other day. Just be sure to pick a spot with a clear view, because once they find it, they will likely make it a daily stop on their route.
