For those that don't know, earnhard3 is referring to the ban on minerals, salt or anyform of bait etc, by our DNR last August. One deer on a fenced farm tested postitive for CWD and the ban was put in place immediately at the time and has not been lifted. I used minerals up to the time of the ban, and found it very effective for getting pictures. Now it's totally illegal so I had to adjust just like the vast majority of the other law abiders. It's made me a better cammer in the long run. Just like hunting now as it requires the same kind of scouting for good cam placements.
I don't know why this site doesn't get more Michigan participants. There is a site dedicated to Michigan hunters, etc and it is very active. Lots of Michigan bucks to be seen. I go by the simple user name of "don", and am pretty active there. If you see any threads referring to "Googily" he is the buck pictured above in this thread.
Here's a link to the deer cam section if anyone cares to check it out.
