The thing about buck jam is like most food/mineral sources you have to consistently keep it out for them to get used to it and it really work. Otherwise you are depending on their sense of smell and them being downwind of the gel. However. If you are working a known run, say between a bedding area and a food plot or water. You can pour it on a stump just beside the trail (try to keep your own scent to a minimum) and camp out in whatever stand or blind you use. I have used buck jam, in my experience it does work, but not any better than a good consistent source of food like corn, and corn doesn't just dissolve in the rain.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

Ever think about the old peanut butter trick?

Deer and just about every other critter in the woods love peanut butter. Just get a big plastic jar of peanut butter, take the lid off and nail the lid to a tree about door knob height off the ground with two roofing nails, screw the jar onto the lid and cut the bottom off with your pocket knife. When empty just screw on a full jar and keep on trucking. Very easy, cheap and effective.
