Default Cows!!!

Maybe you have already scouted the right animal, BEEF it's whats fer dinner!!!! JK
Deer and cattle interact just fine, look for smaller trails, maybe more narrow and with less cow pies.

Find out where the cows have their salt block and follow the deer trails coming to that. not really baiting because the salt was there for the cattle not the deer u are hunting. Look for tracks or set the cam up even on the salt block and see if any deer are using it, you may be suprised whats in with ol bessy. [8D] Also find out if the farmer is giving them any grain or fresh hay, deer will be in to pick up the leftovers.

Absolutely nothing as far as I know, I hunt in a cattle setup, and every time the darn things get out, they gobble up all my stuff. I have different attractants, minerals, and what not out during the spring/summer and put up a game cam, and thats what I see when it completely dissapears.
