I've thought about hanging a bird feeder next to my stand. Not only have I seen deer up on hind legs eating out of them; but figure having birds and squirrels around is a good way to let deer think it's safe.
I used it for several years in southern middle Tn. And at first they didn’t but over time they absolutely tour it up. Had pics and videos of deer eating peanut butter. Happy hunting
Ive been doing the peanut butter thing for around 50 years. But I do it totally different. I use a greenish winter sock. Make sure that you washed it with sent away. Put some surgical gloves on and roll the sock down and fill it full of Jiffy peanutbutter. Pack it as full as you can. I normally roll the top over and screw with screws and washers the rolled top about 18inches from the bottom of the tree. Then give it a squeeze and some peanutbutter will come through the little holes in the sock. Big Bucks normally are smelling their way through the woods. Ive watch the deer suck on the sock. Try that once.
Where I hunted 50 years ago it was illegal to put out a salt block as an attractant any time of year. The deer love salt, but if a game warden found a salt block he would take it. The trick is a few months prior to the season hang a burlap bag full of rock salt over a dead stump. By the start of the season the stump will have absorbed a lot of the salt thanks to the rains at which time you can do away with the bag. The deer, having been licking the stump for a couple of months will continue to do so?? Worked in the Adirondacks!!
Two things. Just like anything else in the woods that is unnatural deer have to get accustomed to anything unnatural to their habitat before they want anything to do with it. Next when there are oak trees all over the place there are also a lot of acorns all over the place and I seen a lot of green leaves still on trees in this video. When they are surrounded by food then they are probably not too hungry for peanut butter that they are commonly not familiar with.
You def right there where plenty of white oaks dropping. Now that they are very scarce I’m gonna try this out again but a little differently of course!!
I gotta call BS on that comment. I've heard goofballs telling me to put peanut butter out for deer for years. I had a little woods behind my house and put out corn every day all fall and winter long. the deer ate the corn (unnatural to the habitat) but never touched the peanut butter, which I also put out every day on trees, rocks, stumps, you name it. I also put out various sugary breakfast cereals and they ate that too.
Being from MI and my brother moved down to NC, he thought to put out carrots and sugar beets. So he went and bought a 50lbs bag of carrots. They laid on the ground and rotted, not even a possum or coon would touch them. My brother even thought to put apples out, well in NC where we hunted there were no apple trees. Again, no deer came to visit those apples. We even threw apples at trees to break them up to get the scent in the air. We rubbed apples against the trees and left them at the base of the trees... nothing. In our area, we had predominantly corn and soybeans. We put corn out on the ground, and the deer showed up along with coons. So it all depends where you are and what is available. I have done the WV deerfeeder and the jar of peanut butter with good results. However, I have had the jars stolen from the tree by raccoons. I would suggest wrapping the tree with a colored flashing above and below to prevent raccoons from climbing the tree to get to the peanut butter.
I've hunted deer for 48 years. I've never baited them, but I'm 99% sure the jar fresh from a store with a glued on label along with Ur hand scents was the reason for no deer eating it in a 24 hr time frame. Plastic jars with glue and human scent don't grow on the side of a tree.
Thank you for never baiting. Thank you for not training animals to trust you, film them, review film from the comforts of your climate controlled home and then follow them home to kill them. Sounds like you are a sportsman and hunt ethically, thank you.
I've done this for several years, all told I've only seen one deer pay attention to it, but the squirrels and chickadees love it. Very entertaining to watch, so now I hang the jar about 10 feet from my blind so I can enjoy the birds up close. Also has the added advantage of the deer getting accustomed to all the movement between them and me.
About 30 some years ago,I was camping with my my ole buddy,in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. We were drinking beer,and eating dry roasted peanuts, and noticed a doe,with a yearling,sniffing the air,and down wind. I realized what was occurring, and we grabbed the jar of peanuts, and worked our way toward the deer.Eventually,we got all the way to them,and they were all too happy to provide us with a blessing from mother nature. As interested as they were in the peanuts, they were also quite happy to lick the salt off our hands.
In Western North Carolina we have a ton of Whitetail Deers. I have spread peanut butter on tree trunks and low branches. The deer lick it dry! I have a rubber pan that I fill with corn and then spread peanut butter on the rim, again, the deer lick it dry. Just my experience.
I’m from Mississippi and it somewhat worked for me, but corn and planting collard greens and plot grasses work the best. And coolaid will make come in faster than peanut butter. Just a large container of the ready make coolaid with sugar already in it and they will come. Deer love sweets
My neighbor put some on an old electric fence around his garden. A buck licked it and hated it. It was an old higher power fence. I think he told his friends and the word got to your deer.
My son has squirrel issues with his house in town & there are also stray cats & dogs. So I use wire live traps baited with peanut butter to catch the squirrels. After I "process" the squirrels, I cut the tails off for my nephew to use in making fishing lures.
Glad I watched the end results before taking the last jar of peanut butter out of the pantry and not having the Ole lady chewing my butt and asking me where the last jar of peanut butter went 😂
Ive used cheap peanut butter and it worked for me in Georgia near peanut fields but check this out. An old man from Oklahoma told me he saved and used his wife's used feminine napkins. Especially the extra messy ones. Never had the balls to ask my other half to bag them and freeze them for me.
Try using molasses as an attractant for your trailcam photos of your deer herd . Do not hunt over it if your state does not allow baiting for deer . Molasses is used in calf feed too , which is also good to use to assess your herd .
Molasses works very well, sprinkle a box of Jello over the area as well, they love the sweet powder. I set it up one afternoon, the next afternoon I had 2 does and a 6 point all over it, they would come back every 6-8hrs. I hunted the area and put pressure on the trigger then decided it was a little small.
Wonder if it has to do with if you have peanuts in fields around. In South West Ga we got a lot of peanut fields, and the deer destroy them to the point DNR gives farmers permits to shoot them during the summer. I might try n see.
I have a couple of deer I hand feed and I tried feeding them peanutbutter and they backed away from it, but they love peanuts once they got a taste of them.
My older brother who was always competitive when we were hunting told me deer loved peanut butter and to use it around my feeder. The only thing it attracted was raccoons 🦝 to come and piss on my oats and hay. Peanuts are a garbage food and shouldn’t be fed to anything! I use the wedge stick idea too 👍
I made a mix myself like some other people did. Mine was syrup, salt, sugar etc. Deer were all over it for a day and then coons carried it off. It was in a block shape.
For those of you who don't know peanuts are actually a pea that kind of looks like a nut.... They are legumes. But the proteins they have are similar to nuts...
I nailed a jar to a tree on my property in West Virginia. The deer couldn't have cared less. I should have bought a jar of jelly and some bread for myself.
Takes about two weeks to get use to any new food in the environment. Wiping it on the tree seems to be less spooky than out of the jar. We have had success with that method but took time for them to adapt to a new food source.
ive used peanut butter....here in Michigan i make a cocktail for both deer and bear using peanut butter and molasses as well as Karo syrup.....i find both animals like it mixed with corn .....
Well now we know the other critters got there first. We might be kinfolk. My grandpa was a Murphy from Munfordville. My relatives are all over Ky . Blessings
I know this video is a year old but let me tell you my experience with not just peanut butter but just putting things out in deer country. In the deep woods deer are real finicky, but in my part of the country (TX) deer aren’t as spooky with people around. But with that said I noticed that when I stacked some stones to mark yardage for Bow season, the deer smelled my scent on the stones. So what I started doing is wearing gloves whenever handling anything out there in the Deer woods.
@@Paleotech1 I always wash my clothes, shower, and spray and use earth cover scent on my boots before I trek in the woods. You can’t 100% eliminate human scent you can only try to keep it at a minimal. I’m sure my scent was there but if one really thought about it, would the deer even came in the area if my scent was so dominantly as strong as people think? Especially a buck!!!
Hi guy's! I live in the woods and hunt all around my property. After using bounce dryer sheets in my clothes for years, I can actually go hunting in clothes straight out of the dryer and deer don't mind the smell at all. It has become a normal smell to them.🙋♂️
I tried peanut butter about 20 years ago and it worked great. I started by putting a little peanut butter on ears of corn. When I came back all of the corn was gone. I put more corn at the base of a pine tree and pushed peanut butter into the bark of the tree. When I came back some corn was left but the peanut butter and the bark was gone. The opening day I shot a buck and doe 30 minutes after sun up. Many years ago I read an article titled Scents and nonesense. The author said introducing any new smell will spook a deer. If you put apples in an area the does not have apple trees or wear an aftershave it's the same thing. I put the corn out to entice them to taste the peanut butter. I don't know any animal that does not like peanut butter.
If your having trouble getting deer to come out during daylight try apples or pears, I've had really good luck with fruit and one of the biggest bucks I've shot was baited with apples. It can get a little pricey baiting with corn and apples and I don't get a deer everytime but almost everytime I see some sort of wildlife and that's worth the trip.
I think the deer where attracted to it but where spooked by scent on the plastic jar. The buck looked like he wanted to eat it, but was scarred of the jar.
It work for me. Also what I have learn over the many year of hunting is that deer notice things out of the ordinary. Like your jar of peanut it doesn’t blend in with the tree. Yes of course there curious smells good,BUT there not sure because they’ve never seen that before. what we do is wrap the jar in natural timber, brush to conceal the color of the jar an make them work to find it. That’s there way of naturally searching.
You didn't spray a scent cover or killer on the outside of the jar that's why walked by. Also they can see the camera because it's directly in their sight. You can try to set it up where it isn't so obvious that it catches their eye. Also it works better in late season as the natural foliage starts to disappear. When deer have plenty of their natural food they often won't go after any bait except maybe apples. It works great in my area!
The way I was told is you have to clean the outside of the container to remove any residual sent and you have to make it available all year in the location you plan to hunt so the deer become accustomed to an easy and dependable meal.
I think his scent and placement was the problem iv had tons of deer eat peanut butter butt not untill all the hickory nuts ECT. Are gone well not as much butt later season yes it works and if u get it in there way now season they will find it sooner and eat it along with nuts ECT..
You spray scent killer on your apples too? I’ve had deer walk up to a camp fire, smoke and all. Walk up to my stand while I was smoking and within 30 feet while I was taking a piss. They can be curious, but ain’t that smart. Scent killers and the like are for making money selling to hunters. Deer don’t care.
Deer are usually slow to start eating from it for the first few days but once they try it they will clean the jar out , I put a jar in my field at my house on the ground and about the 3rd day it was completely cleaned out .
I used a jar of store brand crunchy. Put it on a tree about 15 yds off trail. Took about a week, but once the deer found it, they cleaned it up. With help from raccoons of course. West Michigan.
I tried some peanut butter syrup and also some Apple flavored syrup On some field corn that I had planted in a small food plot The deer wiped out the ones that smelled like peanut butter before they ever went near the Apple scent I'm from New York State
I will try this on feral hogs. What's crazy is a few times we have thrown out vegetables and fruits under the corn thrower and those hogs will not eat that stuff. Squash, apples, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. The deer wouldn't eat any of it either. Guess it's too strange compared to the natural local stuff.
I feed corn a lot. I’ve taken apples and cut them into quarters and tossed in with the corn. I’ve never had the deer eat any of them, they just lay and rot. But there’s no apple trees around me that I know of, so it’s a strange food source. I’ve planted a small brassicas plot for three or four years also, haven’t had much luck with it either.
@@curtbutterfield1966 I’m guessing from the rooting up of grasses like Johnson grass eating roots and grub worms. Mesquite roots? Mostly cotton fields with a few milo fields. I honestly don’t know how these pigs survive up here. Especially in the winter. But they do.
What happened in my experiment with it was that raccoons climbed the tree and hung off the jar until it broke off. Then, they ate the peanut butter and chewed up the jar. They left a note asking for bread and a banana next time.
Iv found big tine cherry rush deer corn works really really good down here in Sw la I put it out the same afternoon/night from 5:30 pm to ab 1 am I had 8 does and atleast 4-5 bucks come and eat they cleared a 50lb bag in a day and a half.
My husband and I mix 2 bottles molasses, 2 Salt, 2 Peanut Butter, 2 Brown Sugar, 2 Apple Concentrate, 2 Boxes Strawberry Jello, 2 jars Vanilla Corn and Oats mixed together and the Deer go after it!
Yeah, I've heard lots of people (mostly non-hunters, or occasional hunters who never get deer) tell me that bullsh*t about peanut butter. Thanks for confirming on video the same results I had with the peanut butter experiment.
Great video showing real results thanks for the time and effort. But they will eat it when they get used to it. I had a deer come to mo buck deer supplement before and I guess because it was a bright color he was spooked he wanted to eat it so bad he was leaning so far into it but trying to run from it at the same time. I was almost to blow my cover laughing at him wish I had video to put on here
You have to leave it out a few days for the deer to get use to it. Also, use gloves, your scent is left behind for a few days... but once they get use to it, they will literally rip the jar off the tree trying to get all the peanut butter out...
Put a cabbage there and see if it lasts the night or a turnip. U cant bait in my state. But if u have these in the garden they'll knaw at the turnips while they're still in the ground. They dont move around and they press knaw the like apples on the ground.
In my experience, deer will only actively feed on things they are accustomed to eating. You can pour apples out in south Alabama and they will rot before a deer eats them. But, you can train them to eat anything. If you keep putting peanut butter out, they will start eating it.
The deer here love the peanut butter, that and a salt lick is the game changer. Salt on a tree stump will attract deer long after the rains have dissolved the salt. They will start chewing on the salty stump.
I thought I would see if peanuts would grow in my area. They grew well, however right before harvest the deer came and dug them out of the ground. They ate everyone. Peanut butter is a good attractant in the spring and summer. The does need the salt while lactating to help regulate their water and keep from becoming dehydrated. Bucks will also partake especially in drought times. They are not attracted after the second week in August.
Here's a sure fire way to get them in. 1 salt block. Mash the salt block up and add a small bottle of aniseed oil. This will nturn into a paste. Place paste on tree. The aniseed will pull them in from miles away.
i carry an apple and rub it on a few trees, works as cover and attracts..same with anise oil which also works in your fish bait...learned from old hunters 70 yrs. agoh
Black Bears are drawn to peanut butter. The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department used it and barbed wire to get Bear DNA which is a means to judge Bear populations, movement, etc
it will work but you’ve got your scent all over it that’s why they’re reacting the way they are I use latex gloves when I use to use it wish I would have videotaped them eating it
We have hogs on our ranch. I set up a peanut butter jar on a post. A big boar went up, took a sniff then proceeded to tear it off the 4x4 post and eat it.
I'm in Washington state and have tried peanut butter on deer and bear many times with no luck. 30 years ago my Dad and I cut the trail of a 200lb black bear. The old man had a half of a peanut and jelly sandwich he threw down there. We took a 20 minute walk and returned and Dad shot his bear. I would have called BS if I didn't see it.
My teenage son goes through peanut butter like nobody’s business. If he lived around there you would have caught him on camera.
😂
You guys have a dog???
@@fermiticus4034 dangit!... Beat me to it 🤣
Dang it! I see there's more out there that's as twisted as I am! 😆 🤣

Deer like turnups and pumpkins better then peanut butter.
Gotta use goober grape and maybe a couple slices of white bread and your neighbor might show up for a snack.

@@randomlyrandomrando lol you can't fool an old crow.
Good idea for baiting deer. I never thought of that. Try keeping your scent from interfering. Put flowers all around it.
Great vid. I'm shocked you didn't have a Squirrel convention at that jar. In a mixed maple/oak forest they must be around.
Why are you capitalizing "squirrel"?
I' ve hunted Pensacola Florida and I could not keep enough peanut butter on the tree .
And I was buying the large jars .
About 30 some years ago,I was camping with my my ole buddy,in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. We were drinking beer,and eating dry roasted peanuts, and noticed a doe,with a yearling,sniffing the air,and down wind.

I'm glad you said hands. Lol
Makes sense that they ignored it. Short period of time and they don’t associate the smell as a food source. Given time, they probably would adapt.
In Western North Carolina we have a ton of Whitetail Deers. I have spread peanut butter on tree trunks and low branches. The deer lick it dry!

I can definitely vouch for the kool aid!
Tropical fruit is their favorite .
Just the dry mix and sugar or do you make it and pour in out in a stump?
@@jeffwilson1832 it’s deer cane either way will work but the dry will keep it scent longer so I do dry
My neighbor put some on an old electric fence around his garden. A buck licked it and hated it. It was an old higher power fence. I think he told his friends and the word got to your deer.
That’s funny
I tried it several times, the raccoons enjoyed it greatly, never had a deer on camera messing with it.

I use deer jerky. The irony is lost on them and capping one while they chew on their neighbor never gets old.

I think the deer where attracted to it but where spooked by scent on the plastic jar. The buck looked like he wanted to eat it, but was scarred of the jar.
Great video. I was actually curious and you answered that for me. Thanks a bunch.
It work for me. Also what I have learn over the many year of hunting is that deer notice things out of the ordinary. Like your jar of peanut it doesn’t blend in with the tree. Yes of course there curious smells good,BUT there not sure because they’ve never seen that before. what we do is wrap the jar in natural timber, brush to conceal the color of the jar an make them work to find it. That’s there way of naturally searching.
You didn't spray a scent cover or killer on the outside of the jar that's why walked by. Also they can see the camera because it's directly in their sight. You can try to set it up where it isn't so obvious that it catches their eye. Also it works better in late season as the natural foliage starts to disappear. When deer have plenty of their natural food they often won't go after any bait except maybe apples. It works great in my area!
The way I was told is you have to clean the outside of the container to remove any residual sent and you have to make it available all year in the location you plan to hunt so the deer become accustomed to an easy and dependable meal.
@@TheAlastar8 yeah you just need to do it once a month and I just sprayed the outside with scent hide or scent killer gold.
I could take a dump on a pile of corn and the deer would still eat it.
I think his scent and placement was the problem iv had tons of deer eat peanut butter butt not untill all the hickory nuts ECT. Are gone well not as much butt later season yes it works and if u get it in there way now season they will find it sooner and eat it along with nuts ECT..
You spray scent killer on your apples too? I’ve had deer walk up to a camp fire, smoke and all. Walk up to my stand while I was smoking and within 30 feet while I was taking a piss. They can be curious, but ain’t that smart. Scent killers and the like are for making money selling to hunters. Deer don’t care.
They may have smelled your scent on the plastic and initially got repelled. Next time maybe use some type of non-scented surgical glove
Whenever I hang a peanut butter jar, I should put a slice in the jar to prevent the deer from getting its muzzle stuck. PB attracts everything.
Deer are usually slow to start eating from it for the first few days but once they try it they will clean the jar out , I put a jar in my field at my house on the ground and about the 3rd day it was completely cleaned out .
Screw a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to a tree and the deer will fight over it.
It really works. I recommend using latex gloves when doing all this. The deer smelled your scent on the jar. I did this but screwed it on a stump.
Oh and I also used Jiffy all natural. Not sure if that makes any difference, but it worked for me.
Seems like everyone says to use jiffy.
Deer hate the smell of latex
I used a jar of store brand crunchy. Put it on a tree about 15 yds off trail. Took about a week, but once the deer found it, they cleaned it up. With help from raccoons of course. West Michigan.
That’s awesome
I tried some peanut butter syrup and also some Apple flavored syrup On some field corn that I had planted in a small food plot The deer wiped out the ones that smelled like peanut butter before they ever went near the Apple scent I'm from New York State
Do you think it may have failed because of any human scent on the actual jar of peanut butter? Interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing.
I think they could smell him
Looks like they could smell it but weren’t to interested I’d spray scent off on the jar and take the label off
I will try this on feral hogs. What's crazy is a few times we have thrown out vegetables and fruits under the corn thrower and those hogs will not eat that stuff. Squash, apples, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. The deer wouldn't eat any of it either. Guess it's too strange compared to the natural local stuff.
Deer won't eat the veggies until you grow them in your garden.
I feed corn a lot. I’ve taken apples and cut them into quarters and tossed in with the corn. I’ve never had the deer eat any of them, they just lay and rot. But there’s no apple trees around me that I know of, so it’s a strange food source. I’ve planted a small brassicas plot for three or four years also, haven’t had much luck with it either.
Try sweet potato. I have really good response from the deer with them
whats natural feed in your area
@@curtbutterfield1966 I’m guessing from the rooting up of grasses like Johnson grass eating roots and grub worms. Mesquite roots? Mostly cotton fields with a few milo fields. I honestly don’t know how these pigs survive up here. Especially in the winter. But they do.
What happened in my experiment with it was that raccoons climbed the tree and hung off the jar until it broke off. Then, they ate the peanut butter and chewed up the jar. They left a note asking for bread and a banana next time.
Iv found big tine cherry rush deer corn works really really good down here in Sw la I put it out the same afternoon/night from 5:30 pm to ab 1 am I had 8 does and atleast 4-5 bucks come and eat they cleared a 50lb bag in a day and a half.
My husband and I mix 2 bottles molasses, 2 Salt, 2 Peanut Butter, 2 Brown Sugar, 2 Apple Concentrate, 2 Boxes Strawberry Jello, 2 jars Vanilla Corn and Oats mixed together and the Deer go after it!
Sounds like yall are making carp bait !!!
Yeah, I've heard lots of people (mostly non-hunters, or occasional hunters who never get deer) tell me that bullsh*t about peanut butter. Thanks for confirming on video the same results I had with the peanut butter experiment.
Been deer hunting most of my life I'm 68 suger works better sweet rolls candy etc but deer like some peanutbutter
Salt works great
Great video showing real results thanks for the time and effort. But they will eat it when they get used to it. I had a deer come to mo buck deer supplement before and I guess because it was a bright color he was spooked he wanted to eat it so bad he was leaning so far into it but trying to run from it at the same time. I was almost to blow my cover laughing at him wish I had video to put on here
Very good test. You did a good job hope you get that buck
Good video bucks only on peanut butter u have to hang it from a small piece of rope and only use jiff creamy
Might work better if using natural peanut butter or make your own peanut butter with out the persertives
Thanks. I've wondered about this myself. Looks like a no go.
You have to leave it out a few days for the deer to get use to it. Also, use gloves, your scent is left behind for a few days... but once they get use to it, they will literally rip the jar off the tree trying to get all the peanut butter out...
Put a cabbage there and see if it lasts the night or a turnip. U cant bait in my state. But if u have these in the garden they'll knaw at the turnips while they're still in the ground. They dont move around and they press knaw the like apples on the ground.
In my experience, deer will only actively feed on things they are accustomed to eating. You can pour apples out in south Alabama and they will rot before a deer eats them. But, you can train them to eat anything. If you keep putting peanut butter out, they will start eating it.
Unscented Cloris poured on the ground will have them digging the roots out of the ground! Takes a few weeks before they start
Good Information, thanks for sharing and greetings from North Michigan, USA.
Greetings from SouthEast Ky. Go check out pt 2 in late season, the results are much different. Thanks for watching.
I've done this for 25 years. Opossums and coons eat most of it, but deer smell it and show up every time
Nice video. A little off subject but one thing I have heard is if you burn off a field wild turkeys will come to it.
Turkeys love controlled burn sites.
The deer here love the peanut butter, that and a salt lick is the game changer. Salt on a tree stump will attract deer long after the rains have dissolved the salt. They will start chewing on the salty stump.
Using a salt lick to hunt deer is illegal in most states. Your a cheat with no hunting skills.
Bigfoot comes by and makes a midnight pbsamwich and stumbles back to nest.
Never even heard of giving a deer perfectly good peanut butter 😂 I an sure put it away though, and, my wife sometimes calls me “Dear” 😂😅
😂
I was doing that back in the 70s And love it !!!
I thought I would see if peanuts would grow in my area. They grew well, however right before harvest the deer came and dug them out of the ground. They ate everyone. Peanut butter is a good attractant in the spring and summer. The does need the salt while lactating to help regulate their water and keep from becoming dehydrated. Bucks will also partake especially in drought times. They are not attracted after the second week in August.
It works really good for me I keep it out year round
Here's a sure fire way to get them in.
1 salt block.
Mash the salt block up and add a small bottle of aniseed oil. This will nturn into a paste. Place paste on tree. The aniseed will pull them in from miles away.
I PUT IT ON A PLATE,I COULD SEND YOU PICS ,IT WORKS IN WI.
Same here last season same result great content.
The deer's movements are so robotic. I'm not sure anymore that we're not living in the Matrix. hahahahaa
i carry an apple and rub it on a few trees, works as cover and attracts..same with anise oil which also works in your fish bait...learned from old hunters 70 yrs. agoh
works for me this fall .had them trying to open the jar
I use it here in South Carolina and the deer around the house tear it up but the deer out in the bigger woods do not mess with it.
Thanks for your test Jerrad. 👍
Black Bears are drawn to peanut butter. The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department used it and barbed wire to get Bear DNA which is a means to judge Bear populations, movement, etc
North Idaho whitetail like peanut butter out of the jar,dumped on the leafy ground.
it will work but you’ve got your scent all over it that’s why they’re reacting the way they are I use latex gloves when I use to use it wish I would have videotaped them eating it
We have hogs on our ranch. I set up a peanut butter jar on a post. A big boar went up, took a sniff then proceeded to tear it off the 4x4 post and eat it.
Very interesting. Appreciate the footage & demonstration. Happy hunting.
Very good idea about the stick and the trail cam
Technically a peanut is not a nut. It's a bean. It's in the bean family. That's all I got to say about that lol
Your right it’s a legume.
Deer or any animal is illegal in the state of Pennsylvania get caught and you lose your license all together
Same result here in Southern Illinois just across the river.
I'm in Washington state and have tried peanut butter on deer and bear many times with no luck. 30 years ago my Dad and I cut the trail of a 200lb black bear. The old man had a half of a peanut and jelly sandwich he threw down there. We took a 20 minute walk and returned and Dad shot his bear. I would have called BS if I didn't see it.
That’s cool.
