I finally got some bone growing!
Well not long after I posted the "Overnight pictures of deer,coons, etc..." thread I left for the cabin again to go turkey hunting. I checked the cameras and already had 80 pictures. 2 differant bucks and one doe was all I got, but it was all within 2-3 hours after I left to come home.
For some reason her face makes her look extremely happy.
This is my favorite picture of the week. The deer got a little close and made the picture a bit deformed.
Something spooked him off. He was probably just a little bit camera shy. But he managed to come back.
Enjoy.

RE: I finally got some bone growing!
Nah it doesn't need to be refreshed. It hasn't been refreshed for the past 5 years. My grandpa use to put a salt block out their for the cattle and the rain always reached it and it melted into the ground so he stopped doing it. The cows never really found the salt in the ground but once the deer found it they went nuts over it. I watched over the years as the deer just tear the heck out of it and I put a camera up just to see what comes in. I've found all sorts of animals that go there. Deer, a badger, groundhods, coons, squirrels, birds, and a muskrat.

RE: I finally got some bone growing!
If I did wouldn't that be considered baiting the deer? Which is illegal in iowa. Or is it only baiting deer if you have a blind or stand near by?
Jim, the photos were all taken Sunday. I set the camera out at like noon and when I went out turkey hunting at 4:30 I checked the cameras.I had 80 pictures over 4 1/2 hours.

We had our conference track meet friday and half way through it started pouring down rain for like 30 minutes. We sat in the buses thewhole time and continued afterwards. Then saturday it rained in the morning which we had another track meet during then.
