NEVER Put Peanut Butter Out for Deer Again — Try This Old HUNTER Trick

📘 The Wendell's Deer Book, Part One, "The Feed Store": every mix, what it costs, and who gets to it first → https://wendellcoffey.com/deer A jar of peanut butter on a tree is a raccoon feeder with a deer's name on it. Here's what really comes to it, and five things the old hunters do instead. The five: 5. Count the card before you believe the jar. Run the camera a week and count everything that comes, by kind and by hour. 4. Spread it thin on raked dirt, never in a pile. 3. Sleeve your feeder legs (greased smooth pipe hung clear of the ground), and put a camera on the fix. 2. The sweet is the seasoning, never the meal. Keep it in the dirt, not up a tree. 1. Use the jar as a measure, not a feeder: a lick worked into bare dirt, where the law allows it. LAW: In Tennessee the 2026-27 bait license names peanut butter on its banned list, and a homemade salt lick can't be hunted over, license or not. In a CWD county, put out no salt or mineral at all. Pull your own state's regulations. From the book: Part One, chapter 1.21 "The Peanut Butter Jar", chapter 1.22 "Coons, Possums, Crows, Hogs and Bears" and chapter 1.6 "The Spring Lick".
