Re: ACORN RAGE
That's the thing about attractants. They work for some people, for others they don't. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why.
My Cousin and his two Sons have taken 6 deer so far this year, including two decent 8 pointers, and everyone over Acorn Rage. They killed 11 last year. Everyone of them over Acorn Rage. This year they're also experimenting with that Acorn hanging block.
Many times I think it has to do with how many other people in the area use a certain attractant. For example, if Wal-Mart sells a lot of a certain type of attractant or lure, and Deer become used to getting shot at whenever they come into these popular scent/lure products, then the dumb ones will die shortly and the survivors will wise up and stop coming to it.

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4

Re: ACORN RAGE
i'll start by saying that i'm not an expert 
just keep in mind if you are huntin a corn or bean field or a bush with no acorns, acorn rage probably isn't going to work for you. if i'm in a corn field, my bait pile is corn, if i'm in a bush with apple trees, my bait pile is apples. if you put something down and its out of place, the deer will know it. we're out there when we can be, the deer are out there 100% of the time, we won't notice if something sticks out, but the deer will! just my two cents, good luck!

Re: ACORN RAGE
The drop N block is a big sticky joke, it won't drop and nothing has touched it. But you don't know til you try right?
The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given into your hands. Gen 9:2
Re: ACORN RAGE
I've been using Acorn Rage all year with much success but were I hunt there is alot of oak trees dropping acorns I also use the Drop-n-Block and the deer pawl the ground like crazy so I guess you have to use the right attractant in the right area.

Luckily where I hunt corn is a common crop and my feeder (legal here for deer) works just fine. I've tried a lot of other things (oats, apples, pumpkins, "deer corn" w/molasses, and attractant blocks) and it did not interest the deer at all.
A plain old salt block and plain old corn in the feeder has been drawing them in for years now, but this time of year when the ground is covered in acorns (as it is this year) even the feeder gets few visitors.
