zukidude, where are you putting your camera? Atleast where I am, if I pick the trails that don't look much like a trail and are in thick cover I get less pictures but more of them are decent bucks. When I pick trails that look like they are used often, I get a lot more pictures but they are usually does and small bucks. Also, as Bob d mentioned, if you have does the bucks will come.

How long did you have it out? Was that two days worth of deer or a months? Patience may do the trick, and if you have a feeder I am sure the bucks will find it.

I don't think 6 days was long enough to be able to photo bucks in your area all depending on your buck-doe ratio. Maybe it's the doe you need to start whacking.

Sounds like the story of my life. I don't have many bucks around me. Most of them get poached.[&:]

I may just be that a weary buck might not like feeders. Bucks are elusive creatures and may just steer away from an obvious human presence especially if they have a good food source already. Have you tried minerals to draw bucks. I'd suggest starting a mineral lick in heavy cover and see if you can't get buck on that site. If your feeder is out in the open that might also be why. Bucks like thick cover with good exits.

Good luck

You can buy things to sent you with a buck smell or a good caller thing that uses noise to get one. Also, just keep the does there, the bucks will come.
