Get a cheap trace mineral block. They're less than $5 and can be bought at any Tractor Supply. Deer take a bit to get used to them but then they expect them to always be there.
I usually check my cams ever 2-4weeks but I'm only about 45min from the farm.

I left my 2 trail camera's out all year,the Deer grouped up this past winter and I got several nice pictures of them all together,now I'm getting some nice pictures of the Bucks growing their antlers and soon the Doe's will be having their Fawns and those can be some really cute pictures of how they interact together.I also have several nice pictures of Turkeys and a few coyotes too.
Hunting Kuk....when I usually set out a new salt or mineral block and I put some corn near it so the Deer will find it easier then they see the block and realize its there and start using it more and more.Once it starts to rain and break down the block into the soil it will also draw the Deer in too.
On a side note:
A few years ago I made a trip in the hills/mountains down by Fayettville Ark.,I couldn't believe at how many Deer were running around down there.....everytime we drove around there were Deer crossing the road or were out in the woods along the road!

I usually check my cams every 4-6 weeks but had to get the rest of my cams out so I switched the cards to the cams that I put out 3 weeks ago. Pike

I have at least some of my cams out year round. From the June through Sept. I always have all of them out, since I consider this the prime time. Most any mineral based product is good to put in front of your cameras.
