Just fed two bananas to a doe in my backyard. I usually throw out fruit & veggies that have started to go bad. I walked out there to throw the bananas in the back yard off my deck and saw her about 20 yards away. She came walking over to see what I had thrown out and started eating them. She ate the whole thing peel and all. Anyone ever used bananas before?

At ~1$ a pound there is no way I would use bananas. Unless they brought in 130-150in bucks then I would use bananas!!
I know they like oranges and have seen videos of them eating birds snakes and rabbits, they pretty much are like goats.

You wanna bring em?


Get some cheap arse rootbeer and soak you corn in it overnight before you dump on the ground.

They love that shite. Grape kool-aid powder as well. Grape kool-aid will plug a gravity feeder.

I usually dust the corn pile on the ground tk get them to the feeder.

Just plant a couple Persimmon trees next to your deer stands. The Deer love Persimmon.

By "em", do you mean hogs? Because that's how you get hogs.

Just get the vanilla or banana flavoring and pour it over corn, you can find it real cheap at Family Dollar. Buy it by the case.

Deer will eat anything that smells sweet. Twice I have had a deer lick mint skoal spit under my stand. Also seen half tamed deer eat bubble gum and chocolate.

It will if you keep it up.

The beginning of the season or if it's been a while I drop some on the rmground to get them pathing through again.

If you keep it up they'll hang around all year.

Feeders are suspended on a cable between trees with a pulley to lower to refill.

They are all on alternating cycles at this point. Some will produce and others wont, depending on the year.
