My results are far different. I heard and read all the same stuff before trying it and my brother had had some success with it as well. I put it out instead of corn, next to corn, and mixed with corn. In all cases they did not touch it. When mixed they eat what corn they could and left the majority of it. This is at a place where we have 12-15 deer coming to a feeder on a regular basis. We've tried it multiple times now and always the same results. I may try it again on a different property
