COB? as in corn cob?

COB stands for corn, oats, and barley.

I tried COB on the local neighborhood deer last year to see how they liked it.......I saw a doe give it a lick and then walk on by.  The squirrels and chipmunk devoured it though in short order.

i have noticed that some deer really like sweer COB and some wont touch it. apples and corn are a good bet that deer will eat it, and garden veggies.

Roses and rhodies on the wet side and alfalfa on the east.

The COB works great here on the Island... apples is the best but they can eat up a metric buttload of apples in a few nights.

So then.. Om making a trip this weekend up to the grounds , doing a bit more early scouting... whats type of attractant brings them in the fastest.. Im all for making a few trips prior to season but, Lets say what Brings em in the fastest?? Could I drop it that morning and just sit?? Thanks again everybody, You guys are being a HUGE help...

IMO it wont do you any good to drop any bait and just sit over it. any deer that come in would have come in anyways. for a bait to really work you need to have it out there for a while. so the deer can get used to it and more and more can find it. and then if you have a spot with big bucks coming in it is very easy to run them off the site with your scent or noise or something else, and the will not come back.

Don't touch anything (even branches) with your bare hands.  A buck can smell you for days and with one whiff can deem the site a danger spot and be gone forever.

Once they get use to your smell you can put out fresh bait and sit. There no different then the deer you see in your yard, once they get to the smells it's no big deal to them.
