This is a perfect reason not to us "BUCK JAM" when trying to draw in deer to your trail cams. This is the 2nd. time it has happened to me and you would think I would have learned from the first time.
I usually put corn down to attract the deer to my trail cams to better scout my deer in the area.This time I also put an added attractant called Corn Flavored "BUCK JAM". I guess bear can't smell corn as well as the Buck Jam and I had an unexpected and unwelcomed guest this past weekend when I went to retrieve my SD card from my trail cams.
So if you DON'T want bears coming to your trail cams, you better not use anything with a strong smelling scent or you'll have the same problem I am having. The past few weeks I was averaging 60-80 pics of deer on my trail cams in this certain area, this past week I had 99 pics on one camera and 98 of them were of this bear.
So if you are going to be hunting whitetail deer and want to get some pics of just deer on your cameras, your best bet is NOT to use any of this like I did.
Oh by the way, I hunt in Pennsylvania and we are allowed to use corn up to 30 days before our season comes in.
