C'mere deer extreme powder
« on: December 18, 2011, 06:03:39 AM »
I succumb to temptation and bought some C'mere Deer extreme powder this year.
 
Well all I can say is I should have went with my gut feeling and left it in the store.
 
I put down apples and corn and the C'mere Deer. The corn and apples were eating and the C'mere Deer was not touched. Maybe if I used the C'mere Deer alone it would be different, but who cares since I can legally bait deer in Michigan.
 
In areas that don't allow bait and where attractants are legal, then I am sure C'mere Deer can't hurt.

I haven't tried it, but have a friend who swears but it.  He always manages to harvest a nice buck or two so something is working for him.

 I have never used c'mere deer. But have used deer cocaine. They did wear the ground out where it had been. There was a dip in the ground 3" deep and circle of about 4' across.

I tried C'mere Deer before it was widely distributed to the General Public.  A field trial.  Its liquid form was offered to the SC State Biologist who in turn asked me to try it in FL and report.

On a statistically insignificant population of 2 trials, it worked 50% of the time, and worked 100% the first time it was put in the forest.  It was my assessment that if a deer were in the vicinity, and that deer would ordinarily travel by the place where the lure was suspended, then the curiosity of the deer would tend to draw it to that scent.  Not unlike Pure Vanilla Extract suspended in the forest will draw a doe or buck that is passing by that place.

I spread Deer Cocaine on multiple occasions, adjacent to places where I routinely capture deer on camera eating vegetation, without once seeing the deer dip into the Deer Cocaine.  From this I surmise that the deer in my woods do not want or need the minerals that Deer Cocaine purports to provide.

Same can be said about the deer in my woods preferring Iron and Clay peas and Soy Beans over almost every other seed planted.  They don't seem to eat clovers, turnips, rye grain, wheat, oats, or sorghum.  I have tried others but they didn't grow well or the lack of frost eliminates the sugar rising in the maturing plant keeping them bitter.  Dang picky deer is what I think.

     For what all the deer attractemts cost I have found that the feeding of minerals in the salt form and planting regular garden plants has been the way to go for us in this area highly fertilized winter wheat with peas turnips and corn planted in the field will draw them in.   HTH   Jim
