I was all excited to run out and buy a 50# bag of SBM but I thought- just as I had about alfalfa pellets- that I better check the internet to see if deer are attracted to soybean (I'm sure they would be all over alfalfa pellets).

Sure enough- I google and read about "Buck Builder" and various deer foods all including soybean meal because it is a deer attractant and helps them gain weight for winter.

WTH??? I live in an area that deer frequent- not so much that I see them daily, but several times a year in the Spring/Summer. The last thing I need is to ATTRACT them to my yard.

Does anyone else have a similar situation or know if this really would be an issue? I suppose if it was watered in real good after application there would be less "risk" of that happening, but I was also hoping to put down the fertilizer this weekend in hopes that the rains predicted for Monday would come as planned since my sprinkler system isn't turned on yet.
