Saw where you could catch deer flies by taking a black bucket and suspend it off the ground and cover it with motor oil. Says it doesn't catch anything else. Would it be good to place in hunting areas?
I would think the oil would have a odor that’s not normal to the deer and keep them away. I don’t see where a bucket or two is going to do anything to hurt the fly population.
Went they clearcuts. All ramps have oil. Not sure the smell would bother them if there 24-7
I could see a hog Waller under it if you have hogs. Oil keeps mites down on them and they know it. Where the equipment leaks they lay around in it after they are done.
