Carrots for bait?

[cewoz560 150]

So I got a food bank by my work that discarded about 500 lb of carrots... Was wondering how good would that be for baiting deer this time of season?

I put some old carrots i had in my backyard where i have 10-15 deer every afternoon on my lawn.  They didnt bother with them.  The squirrels cleaned them up

Deer will eat just about anything but they do have a priority list of foods. When acorns are around, they won't eat anything else. A lot of guys complaining that their corn piles being ignored. If you are in an area where there are no acorns then carrots may work. Keep in mind as soon as they freeze they will defrost into mush.

My deer don’t like carrots

I've tried most root vegetables as bait sugar beets and sweet potatoes work great. Least favorite was carrots.

I have used them for years get them by the bin overall deer like them but  I have seen a couple areas they will eat other things first.

All depends on geological environment available food source.

Tried em,no go.Maybe work for you. Ever heard of deer eating bread?I have pics,hand feedingWeaned um as fawns.

I feed them garlic and onions.No need to season the meat.

Not a good idea. Why would you want your deer to see better?

Thanks guys this is was very comical... Well I tried them put out 50 pounds doesn't look like they touch them at all. I'm hunting a golf course in a lot of acorns and other stuff around.... Put another 50 out away from where I was at to see if the will find them and look for more

Last year I threw some leftover carrots in the yard and they never looked at them. I have the picture somewhere of a 8 point that ate the old grapefruit I threw in the yard next to the carrots and ate it skin and all and left nothing behind . And after that whenever my grapefruit looked to old for me to eat. I would toss them in the yard and that same buck was the only deer that ate grapefruit out of a dozen or so deer he loved them. Wheat bread is another thing I noticed when I toss it to the birds the bucks crush wheat bread.But the does will not touch it only white bread and the bucks won't eat the white bread here. So each deer is individual in his or her eating habits at least here anyway.
