Unfortunately my story is similar to mrbb's when it comes to the TR. The first one I put out years ago seemed to draw a lot of attention. Since then I've had others but they basically withered away due to the elements and didn't seem to draw deer nearly like the first had. At $15+ I ended up going with trace mineral from TSC as money was tight at the time. Since then I've tried a few concoctions and now rely heavily on Monster RAXX.
