any supplements out there to help deer come back to my corn feeder

We use Purina deer chow. It's more expensive than corn, but the deer really go for it, at our deer lease. Just my $.02

Plant some mustard greens.

Add steel shot to the feed, then you buy the Acme Super Electro Magnet and turn it on to get them back at the feeder. I saw this on TV, so it has to be real!

Just be careful of the rocket you fired a few minutes before.

I use a supplement called buck grub. I don't actually use a corn feeder. my feeders are more of an elevated livestock trough with a roof. i mix 2lb of corn with 2lb of sweet feed and a lb of the buck grub in the mix. the deer are absolutly loving this stuff, and i am pulling deer in from other areas as well. from what i can tell buck grub is rice bran with some minerals mixed in with it. I also plant some crops in the area of my feeders as well. Yes deer do love mustard greens too. if you know someone who has a feed mill, ask them to get you a sack of rice bran and give it a try.As for the buck grub, it ran me about $25.00 for a 25lb bag, but i found that a little of it in my feed mix goes a long way. I can stretch 1 25lb bag of buck grub per 150lbs of corn and feed. I have tried other supplements before and had no sucess with them, but i have been real happy with the buck grub. Hope this helps.

Molasses. Salt lick. I have a molasses feeder that hangs on the side of the regular feeder. I am not filling my regular feeder this year at all but the molasses feeder and salt lick keep the deer coming occasionally.

Check out Po' Boy Feeders - google them. That's where I got the molasses feeder.

That buck grub stuff (which is milled rice bran essentially) is supposed to work, but who can afford it?!
