Im about to try molasses blocks and see if they work. I have tried the salt blocks without much success. Its for roe and they seem to be pretty selective.
Here,s my recipe:
2 loaves stale bread
· 13 x 9 inch pan
· 12 oz. jar molasses
· 12 oz. jar honey
· 1 ½ cups dry corn kernels
· Mixing bowl
· Wooden spoon
1. Step 1
Use stale bread to create the deer food. Crumble the bread into small pieces. Fill the pan completely with the crumbled bread.
2. Step 2
Mix the molasses and honey together in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into the pan over the bread. Combine the mixture and the bread with a wooden spoon to create a mushy texture.
3. Step 3
Add dry corn kernels to the mixture. Stir the kernels until they appear distributed evenly in the pan.
4. Step 4
Set the deer food still inside the pan outside in the sun to dry. This allows the deer food to form into a large block.
5. Step 5
Place the homemade deer food block in the oven at 200 degrees. Let the deer food cure in the baking pan in the oven for 2 hours.
6. Step 6
Allow the deer food block to cool. Remove the deer food from the pan

Over the last couple of years I have had numerous roe using 2 ounces of cooking salt with 3 or 4 drops of aniseed in a yoghurt pot, or muller rice.
I just empty it along a hedgeside or near a tree and let the breeze tell the deer where it is. Rain soon makes it vanish though the scent lingers.
This has been more of a draw than my attempts at calling.
