As I posted in that thread I started the Trails end has worked at least twice (and visibly).
I've tried the peanut butter trick but never seen it work. It's disappeared at night, but not while I was watching.
I've used timed corn feeders and just corn dumped on the ground with success. Biggest deer I've ever arrowed was heading for a corn pile when I shot him. It's legal here but I understand in many states it's not.
I've tried making mock scrapes with scent products and it's never worked.
For me, the most productive thing is to find where the deer are and be there.
This season I've been hunting a tree/fence line along the edge of a 2 year old clearcut pretty heavily. Deer are funneling through that area, particularly in the evening. I've hunted that stand 7 evenings so far and have seen deer on 4 of them.
Find your choke/funnel points between bedding and feeding areas. It will pay off.
Gonna have to get some vanilla extract now though. I'm assuming you're using the real deal and not the imitiation stuff?
