Deer hunters know how important it is to stock up on the right attractants during prime deer season. You can find them at Bethel Feed & Supply Pet & Garden Center, a feed mill in Bethel, OH, since 1984.

While there are many different types of deer attractants available on the market, some have a better track record than others. Here are a few all serious deer hunters should have on hand when the season kicks off:

• Apple Flavors: Deer are deeply attracted to apples and apple-flavored items. One of the most popular attractants is apple-flavored shelled corn. These whole kernels are infused with a natural apple flavor that instantly attracts deer.
• White Salt Blocks: Essential for deer to receive their nutrients and minerals, white salt blocks (also known as mineral licks) are common livestock supplies for many animals. The minerals help deer digest food, grow, and maintain their overall health. Many are even enriched with apple flavor.
• Deer Feed: No feed mill would be complete without a mixture of actual deer feed. This is a blend of oats, shelled corn, and molasses, often blended with sodium and minerals. Some feeds are enriched with more protein or pellets to provide further nutrition.
• Acorns: Feeds made with genuine acorns are known to attract whitetail deer in droves. Acorns contain high quantities of carbohydrates and fats, and if deer eat enough, they can even get a fair amount of protein. The white oak acorn is one of the most popular.
• Scented Liquids: Some deer attractants are formulated with heavy aromas and rich flavors. Both draw deer in immediately, and they’re loaded with minerals that are beneficial to the animals.
