Although the type of food that deer are attracted to may vary from region to region, certain scents, food items, and sounds can consistently be used to draw deer in different environments. Sweetly-scented apple or mesquite tree branches, corn, and alfalfa are attractive and nutritious snacks for deer. Additionally, holiday season aromas such as evergreen trees, cinnamon sticks and hot apple cider cans also prove to be alluring odors. In terms of sound, many hunters have utilized deer calls to attract bucks and does during their hunt. The combination of these factors undoubtedly causes a multitude of deer to appear relatively quickly!
