The elk around my place are attracted to the cob and a few elk eat it, but the deer can't get enough of it.  Took the deer a while to warm up to it though.  They wouldn't touch it, only smelled it for a couple months, but now I can't keep my feeder full.  Funny how much they slobber while eating it.

I've tried the wet cob for blacktail around my place and had it covered to keep dry, I never had anyluck with blacktails hitting it. I had the trail cam on it for 2 months and nothing. This was in the winter last year, did get plenty of pics of elk and yotes though.
“In common with”..... not so much!!

I've had plenty of blacktail eat on it. Throw some cob and apples and let 'em chow down.

So you just by a bag or 2 from time to time then go put it out in the woods, and come what ever season you hunt go sit on this until something you are willing to shoot comes along?
not all who wander are lost

Yep. It would help if you can pour it out at the base of a tree....something to keep it as dry as possible. You can also make a pvc feeder or buy something. A week before you want to hunt wet it down. It will ferment and then you can kill drunk deer.

I take it all you guys are Bow Hunters....  Not sure I would want to put out bait as a rifle hunter... then let the archery and muzzy guys find my spot, shoot my deer, and leave me wondering what happened......  :dunno: :dunno:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

i got some good pics last year of a little black bear year with a block of pressed cob. The bear sat down, picked up the block and ate the whole thing like it was a candy bar.

I can totally see that happening  :chuckle: :chuckle:
it probly just got done eating the trail camera and was eating the block for desert!

COB is pricey and not very helpful for the critters.  Find a local farmer, buy peas, triticale, barley, lentils, garbs and canola or camelina meal add some vitamin/mineral mix (this gets the calcium and selinium up where it belongs), save some money and do a better job for the animals using your handout.

Feed em what they are looking for naturally, and extra, and be growing bigger bucks.  White tail institute sells the best attractants and mineral packs i have ever used,  depending on what season and what the deer need for maximum growth...
Check it out!  :tup:

Ok can someone explain what this cob is that everyone is feeding the deer. Can you buy it and if so is it available in or around Monroe. These blacktail don't seem to like the cracked corn as much as the yotes do.... Thanks
     Just ask for Sweet Feed.  A block I have great luck with is country acres deef block.  Made by Country Acres Feed, Brentwood MO.  Some of the other blocks I have put out don't get touched.  They devour these blocks.  They slow down during the summer months when the feed is good.  Post rut and post hunting season a block will only last me for 2-3 days.  They seem to do them some good too.
