Have ya'll seen these scented gels- attractants... legal Peanut butter- deer love, but since itis a food item, illegal. Not complaining, not upset, just curious as to the difference. Also, if food scented gels are legal, are they ethical? What about a peanut butter sammich in your pack?

My guess if it is edible then it would be baiting.. However, that deer is not getting my PBJ sammich..or my Twinkies either... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

The stuff I've seen is suppose to taste terrible,so if they do taste it they won't want anymore of it.You're also suppose to put it where they can't get to it.

I use persimmon and acorn scented gels , they don't taste like they smell . ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Are they ethical ? Yes , they're no less ethical than sitting near a persimmon or oak tree . Is using peanut butter ethical ? Only if it's up too high for them to reach . There are non-edible peanut scented products just as there are other food based scents . Is it baiting ? No , the animal doesn't get to consume it . I've also been known to spray apple juice onto the limbs or bushes around my blind , I've also spread sorghum molasses on them too for the deer to smell . The deer never get a chance to eat either one until I leave the field .

I think your dancing with the devil. Most of the crap on the market is marked legal to use, for viewing or photographing, not hunting. Here is the key to the vault, get a sack full of the fatest acorns you can find from white oaks put them in a pan and cover with water, boil until soft. pour the water into something and save. grind the acorns in the blender and put them back in the pan,pour the water you saved back in with the chopped up acorns. Slow boil until the water looks like tea or weak coffee, strain the water to remove the acorn pieces. Ok here's where it gets a little scary, pour the water in a coffee maker with a filter in it and run it though repeat useing a clean coffe filter 2 more times. Add an ounce of vodka to preserve it and your good to go. Spray on your boots ,clothes and around your stand. I've had cross my path and turn to follow and are at ease when shot time comes. This stuff works better than anything on the market. Tony

Kevin be careful what you spread in the woods, what you have described would be considered baiting.
