There seems to be no problem.
Let's foget about it.

Sound like he did. I would of thought those Deer would of been back a couple days later.
|
Sniff the ground around your lick and see if you smell bleach. Does your camera look at the lick? If so, you should have caught him if he did. How many different deer are you talking about?
|
You would be able to smell or see the effect of bleach if it had been used. Why the deer stopped coming around I have no clue. That cutting of the tree might have moved them for a few days at the most. I've dropped trees one day and had deer the next day in the tops eating the leaves.
|
I don't think I'd be hunting with a guy who I thought was capable of doing that, whether he actually did it or not.
|
okay i have a confession. He told me where his spot was and so as a joke i went around and pee'd on everything, including the camera!! I dont recommend licking the block or smelling it.
LOL. A simple tree removal could have spooked them enough to move off, Or just a simple change in their movements. |

And he would have been foolish to do something because he knows the camera is there. I guess I'm just being paranoid from his remark which is probably exactly what his intentions were by making the remark. I put a lot of time and effort into this spot and it seems to have just died on me. I don't understand it happening that quickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjdW-QraLRw
I'm as puzzled as you are. I would sniff around for the bleach smell but since you didn't catch him on camera, something else must have happened. When you put a mineral block on the ground, minerals seep into the ground. Once animals find it, they keep coming back for more, even after the block is gone because there are minerals still in the ground. Are there other hunters in the area? Have you noticed any pattern with the moon? |
Is it possible for him to have poured a trail of bleach around the area? Instead of directly on the block? And just barely kept out of view of the camera? Or is it not like that?
|
Lots of acorns and cherry on the ground around here right now. I have noticed in the past that deer lick the licks in the summer but fade off from them in the fall when cold weather approaches and there are lots of food in the woods where they can get natural food and minerals. Not saying he did not do anything. Only saying that patterns do change. Tom.
