| Bruce Point Outdoors C'mere Deer |
A Texas Deer Hunter Writes
I hunt whitetail deer in central Texas (hillcountry), how long before
opening day should C'mere deer be distributed for maximum
effectiveness.
Opening day is on Nov 4th, I am planning on using powder in the feeder
with
the corn (feeder used year round), and use the spray or concentrate on
game
trails leading to the feeder which is about 100 yards from my stand.
Do you
think that applying the attractant this weekend would give adequate
time for
desired effect? Also my hunting property is approximatly 300 yards
from a
very large lake, can moisture effect the effectiveness negativly?
Hunting
pressure is significant in the area I hunt, I am hoping C'mere deer can
give
me an edge over other hunters leasing the area.
Thank you for your time and consideration

C'mere Deer will work well if you do use it in advance of your deer season opener. If you already have
deer habituating the area you should have no problem attracting them to you application site.
Remember it is best to hunt the does during the pre-rut period. Attracting them well out in the open
will cause bucks to work the edges of the opening trying to intercept does going and coming to the
opening. If you have a food plot this works very well. Having a water source nearby is usually a plus but
this year our cooperators in Texas are getting to much rain. Rain may dilute the spray applications to
some degree. It is best to use a mixture of 1 part C'mere Deer to 2 parts of natural water if you are
getting lots of rain. Remember no water from your house or municipal water source that has chlorine or
other chemicals in it.
Using the powder in your feeder can be a problem if you use to much with the shell corn or pelleted
feed. This is especially true when humidity is high or periods of rain. It will gum up your spinner. Use
just enough powder to just coat the corn. We soak our corn with C'mere deer concentrate prior to
putting it out in the feeders. Again just enough to coat all the corn but not enough to make the corn
soft.
The spray is always best used on natural food sources. You can make a mineral lick situation by
pouring it on a stump or a log. However you should have started that about a month ago. Powder works
great where you do not have a natural food source available. Just spread it out on the ground. Do not
pile it up, make the deer work at getting it. This will keep the does in front of you longer. The longer
they are there the more likely a buck will break cover and check them out. I hope this answers your
question on C'mere Deer.
Hope this answers your question, good luck and good hunting.

C'mere Deer Customer, Jason Writes:
I live in Mid Coast Maine and am considering purchasing some C'Mere Deer. I have read varying
reports on the product, but the article I read from your website made the most sense. My question
is where and on what would this work best on. I was going to put it on hay but I have yet to confirm
if that is legal or not. I had also read about people who had just put it on the ground. Is the powder
or liquid better for just the ground application? Or is it important that I put it on some type of
foliage. I appreciate your time and answer to these questions. Good luck this fall in the woods!
Our Biologist's Response:
I prefer the liquid Cmere Deer when hunting in areas that other hunters have access to as it does
not stand out like the powder does. As far as the application goes it depends whether or not you
are going to set up on a food sources or on a travel lane. First of all you can apply it to anything and
it will work to some degree if deer are already in the area to begin with.
We have not had good luck with cut hay. Deer are Forbe (weed) eaters by nature. We have found
that C'mere Deer and legumes do not seen to go well together. If you are going to use it on trefoil
or alfalfa then you need to apply it heavily at least a week prior to hunting the site and you need to
apply C'mere Deer heavily to the site. However we have had success with other food sources.
We have a lady who rakes up all the acorns in her yard and then soaks them in C'mere Deer
concentrate and puts them out on a deer trail that passes in front of her stand. It stops the deer
long enough to get a shot and she also sprays the branches near the scrape on her stand. She has
averaged an 8 point buck or better every year since she has stated using the C'mere Deer. Her
husband does not have a clue to her secret.
Another hunter in N. Dakota put the liquid concentrate in a cup on a stump and he says the deer
come and lap it up like a dog.
If you are hunting a food source up in your area like beechnuts, acorns, Small aspen, Apples or
dogwood then your best bet is to apply it directly to these plants. Introducing a foreign food source
can sometimes cause problems. Until they get used to the new food they may avoid it. If you can
use a bait in your area you can always use C'mere Deer with corn. Deer quickly adjust to this food
source even in the very far North. In your area I would use apples with the C'mere Deer to start with
as there are plenty of old orchards in Maine. I know you have white cedar there also and a client in
Michigan cuts the branches on cedar and treats them with C'mere Deer and gets very good results.
Remember there is a good deal of hype in the deer attractant business so when you see pictures
of trees with the bark chewed off you must understand that this is an unusual occurrence in an
area where natural foods may be in short supply.
Another trick is to go to the local feed store and buy a bag of powdered molasses. It looks like the
common soil or the ground so it does not give your stand away and then spray it with C'mere Deer
mixed 1 Part C'mere Deer to 2 parts water. This can be very effective. If you are hunting on skid
roads or log landings then apply it directly to the little white clover that will normally be found on
these sites, This can be very effective but remember hunters like to walk down logging roads so
you may have too much company.
Deer attractants are just another tool to use when hunting. You still must follow the basics which
include scent control, preseason scouting and good stand placement.
By the way we just sold out on all our powder and are getting low (4 cases) on the 1/2 gallon size of
the concentrate.
Hope this help you out. Good luck and Good Hunting.
