Thread: Attracting deer onto your property / farm

They love my hay crop. But as @Marty Henry says the best way to attract them appears to be by doing something intended for a different purpose, which attracts them out of spite. Planting trees always brings them here. Young poplar poles of cv. 'crowsnest' are particularly sought after right now, I've just been looking at a heap of them that have been ringbarked by deer since I last saw them on Saturday.

Actually my experience suggests the best way to attract them is to go actively looking for them, rifle at the ready. I can almost guarantee that this will bring them in in droves... about an hour after the rifle goes back into the gunsafe.
