Make your next hunting expedition a success by using some of the best deer attractants on the market. These products attract the hoofed animals the way lights attract insects so you come home with something instead of nothing. The team at Racine’s Feed Garden & Supply provides the hunters of Robertsdale, AL, with a comprehensive range of deer attractants, among other hunting accessories, and here, they have rounded up their top five picks.

5 Deer Attractants to Bring on Your Next Hunting Trip

1. Apple-Flavored Products

Apple-flavored attractants are longtime hunter favorites due to deer’s well-known love of fruit. They come in numerous forms for your convenience, including apple-scented blocks, liquids, and corn.

2. Peanut Butter

Peanut butter falls into the DIY deer attractant category. Hunters drill peanut butter lids into trees and cut off the bottom of the jar to bring the animals into shooting range. They also simply smear the food on trees or use “deer sucker” products featuring peanut butter and perhaps another ingredient, such as molasses.

3. Mineral & Flavor Blends

Deer love salt, which is why “deer licks” containing the mineral work wonderfully. Attractants featuring minerals and favorite scents do well. Products come pre-mixed with minerals and flavors to make your upcoming hunting trip successful.

4. Food Plots

Food plots from companies such as Tecomate® feature plants beloved by the hoofed animals. The brand uses a specific system that requires “planting the right plants the right way” to not only attract big bucks, but to also keep them around so you can enjoy more than one day of hunting success.

5. Acorn Scent

Acorn-scented products make the ideal bait. Options featuring white oak acorns over red oak are best because they contain fewer tannins and are subsequently less bitter. Acorns may also be added to food plots to attract more of the wildlife.
