Casey Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I didn't have my trail camera out when the deer were hitting the mineral site, but when I do get it out they all of a sudden quit. I've had my camera out for a while, before it crapped out on me for a few hours (now working just fine). I seen a good buck yesterday, I have a few pictures of him in the Photography/Video forum. So I decided to move the camera to the field where the buck was at. Hopefully he'll visit the field again and will get some close up pics.

Zero Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Maybe you left too much scent, or they're just slowing down on the minerals due to the time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear rubber boots and spray down everytime I get into the woods. I doubt its the scent... maybe they are slowing down, but I just think its lack of luck.

I doubt its the scent... maybe they are slowing down, but I just think its lack of luck. I'm not going to sit here and say to anyone that luck doesn't have a little something to do with the amount of success we have in the woods. However, the other guy is right. Something has change. It's the time of year. You should be baiting with something besides the mineral block, like apples, corn, etc. If that's leagl in your area. On that note, it may be legal to bait for the camera in your area as long as you're not hunting over the spot. You'll have to check with your local officer on that, but they need something new get get there attention again. I have found that even corn will not make the same deer come back every single day. They may hit it everyday for a week, then take a week off somewhere else. However, they will rmember where it is and may come back when they get in the mood for it again. It's like us eating at McDonald's every night. After a night or two, you want some Taco Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
