Deer Caine/Mineral Site Question
Question for the members of the board who use mineral licks, a few years ago i was lucky enough to get access to a few hundred acres of farmland/woods to hunt in Maryland. Now this is all farm country where I am, corn and soybean being the majority. At first I would put piles of corn out covered with Buck Jam in front of my cameras to find out what was on the property. I would get tons of pics in every location. This past year, instead of spending all the money on corn and lugging it into the woods, I figured I'd set up some mineral sites with Deer Caine and just check the cameras every few weeks. Well i've had no luck with the Caine sites for 2 years now. I've moved some around and such but it seems the first few days they'll show up and then very very scattered after that. My question is, do you think Deer Caine just isn't good and I should try other minerals or could it be that the soil here is so rich already from all the farming, that they do not need minerals as much and don't make it a point to come to the sites? I know the deer are here and I'd like some pics without having to keep throwing corn out there.
