i seen that too...i'm going to try it this year..

 

There are all sorts of things that will attract a deer’s attention, particularly young deer. However, peanut butter isn’t something that’s going to draw a deer to an area. Very little will. If a deer’s close by and gets a whiff, maybe it’ll take a closer smell. But, it’s already there so the peanut butter really isn’t doing much other than deterring it’s attention slightly. With more mature deer, there’s just as good a chance that it will cause alarm.

 

I may try it too........not sure if I can keep the Grandkids away from the trees though lol......... I would think squirells might spend a lot of time licking it like a dog too. If the deer act like dogs do with the stuff we should have plenty of time for a shot while they are distracted trying to clear their tongue.

 

I've found a doe in heat works better than peanut butter

 

seriously??? peanut butter on trees???? Im sure you dont really have that little skill in deer hunting that you hafta resort to pasting peanut butter on a tree.

 

or doe in heat......fox cover......scent killer......trophy rocks......bleat calls....camo.....mechanical releases.....under all........range finders....why draw a line just before peanut butter fishlandr75........? Just currious here, don't need to come unglued man

 

I can just see it now. Peanut butter in camo jars..add the word bonecollector and jack the price up to $19.95. The sad part is that people will line up to buy it. Amazing.

Traditionally, your response would be considered rude.
Someone asked a simple question, and somehow you turned it into a chance to question their hunting prowess.

ok... im wrong...go ahead and slap peanut butter on a tree... i guess its considered "prowess" to bait deer these days..i stand corrected

 

I would think it would be used as a cover scent more than an attractant...just my opinion.

Went from rude dude a-hole dude. Do you only hunt with hand made bow/arrow and hand chipped flint tips? Anything else would be practically cheating I guess.
When I first started hunting in the mid 70's there was not a great deal of commercial attractants. Apples, carrots, molasses, pumpkins, sugar beets, and peanut butter were all things I was aware that guys used for that dreadful baiting practice in the fall season. I never tried peanut butter or heard it to be special, just know it was a good bit easier to carry out to your stand than 100# of apples.

Aw man, now I feel horrible. No I don't. You were being a jerk with the "prowess" blast and you know it. "A-hole" may have been a bit harsh, but I tend to be reactionary and a bit on the harsher side.

 

I don't know about you other guys, but if I wanted to see bickering and nagging, I'd deal with my wife. I get on this site to read up on others experience and what's going on in the field. Getting a little old that people sit on here and bicker with each other. You want to bait deer, bait deer, you want to consider it 'prowess', then do so. Bottom line, is leave the nagging and bickering to the wives and lets just keep it real with hunting.

me too... so put on yer big girl panties and deal with it sally

 

Must be all this rainy, windy weather holding guys inside instead of sitting in trees....come on cold..... calm Novemeber...........!

The peanut butter might be a decent idea to distract the deer or divert it's attention away from the hunter. An edible decoy more than an attractant.

I gotta be honest, I'm going to do whatever it takes within the law, to bag a deer. i do not see any shame in finding a method that makes you successful,. As long as it is legal.

Remember no baiting on public land. if you are hunting private property, a cheap pvc corn feeder may be a better option. costs less than $20 to make 2 of them. Including the first bag of corn, if my estimate of the cost of pvc pipe is right.

 

OK, I am one of those cheaters that has no hunting skills what so ever that uses every legal means including peanut butter to try to lure bambi into range. I have killed so few deer in recent years that I guess I need to throw the grocery store at them to kill one

Hardtop,

I run 7-9 camera locations on the property that I hunt in Athens County. I put up 3 peanut butter jars, secured to the tree, in 3 locations. The pics I have, and I have a bunch, show that the deer had little interest in the peanut butter. They would sniff if but did little else. However if you ever want to bait raccoons I highly recommend this peanut butter technique. The ***** loved it!!!!!!

Maybe your results will be different than mine.

 

looks like proof is in the....peanut butter...sorry couldnt help myself!!!

 

HEY, what is that on that tree.....peanut butter???

 

Thanks Lundy.........you always add good information, good luck in the woods, HT

 

By the way......what do you think that buck will score in the above picture I posted?

I'm guessing he will score somewhere around18 "

 

ive slathered peanut butter on a tree 2' up and all around the base in a heavy populated area on private land when this came up a few years ago, after the jar was empty, i tossed it on the ground (which i picked up later).... nothing but the ***** touched it and i have photos to prove it. just gotta go thru a 1000++ photos to find them dont waste your time with PB.
