I doubt they'll learn anything by that. He'll just wander around wondering where the deer went. If nothing else, he'll be kept busy sitting there all season, waiting for deer that have sloped off for somewhere else.

Maybe the minty fresh odor will alert him, but if he needs to put out "deer corn", I doubt he'll notice it.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
