Certain bait & lure ingedients must attract deer. I did some nuisance coyote trapping in April on my property. I used some gland and call lure, urine, and predator bait. A month later on trail cam I had deer regularly coming up to sniff the spot where that set was. I thought it was the urine at first, but I don't think a urine smell would linger that long. It may depend on the time of the year as much as it does the ingredients used in the attractant.

I've never found anything that will get cats and coyotes to work a set that deer and cattle wont sniff. They may not go out of their way to investigate it but the same locations that will produce coyotes or cats are likely to funnel deer and cattle. My trap is close enough to the scent most of the time the deer and cattle don't step on it. The ungulates do not really work the set but they will stop for a sniff.

There are some ingredients In some lures that deer are attracted to. And I believe urine to be an attractant.
And the other thing I have found that deer seem to be attracted to their own kind when used In carcass dumps.

I'm with Danny, deer are very curious animals and most smells will attract them. Whenever I test lures where there are deer they will come for a closer smell no matter what it is. I've videoed deer over coyote glands and it's funny to watch them kind of jump/flinch when they first get a smell of it then they cautiously go up to it for a closer smell. If someone tells you this one thing is attracting deer ask them what won't attract deer, get some of it, find an area with deer, setup a camera with some of it in front of it and see for yourself.

Everclear. Digging could be attributed to the other stuff it's mixed with

I refuse to use urine anymore, not because it doesn't work but because deer will set off your trap almost every night when you use it in my area because of how many deer we have
Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

I found that when I use to bed my traps with salt is when I had deer fire my traps off the most. After I change to peat moss ,I do not have many traps fire by deer. But like was stated for how deer are for something different to smell. I seen when you field dress a deer that in time others will show up on it.
