what early season attractant do you use in front of your trail cams?
 

I filled my moultrie feeder with corn last month and set my trail cam up in front of it. I have not gotten one pic of a single deer. I believe that since corn is a carbohydrate and heats their internal furnace up, they are not eating it yet. What do you use for early season?

I don't use feeders at all. Most of the time I get about half a 50lb bag of corn and pour it on the ground.Then, get some apple flavored buck jam and pour about a 1/4 on top of the corn. By a week all of the corn will be gone and you will have A LOT of trail cam pics. I have never put this out without any results and have used it many times.

we use corn on our cameras with great success... sometimes upwards of 2000 pics in two weeks.. I also like to use Black Magic by Deer Cocaine. Awesome product

For spring and summer i like to use a natural food source, or a crop of clover or something. Like Deepsouth said Black magic works great, it's a salt product which after winter is what a deer needs, especially bucks. Corn works best in fall because most of the natural sources are depleted and well everyone knows deer love corn...

I found last year that the herd in my area loved biologic hot spot, they ate up all the seed before it had time to grow. I raked out an area and spread the seed and boom I was getting over 200 trail cam pics and videos a week.

Just DeerCain licks. A couple years ago, Wild Game Inovations sent us some bags of crushed sugar beets. I spread it around the outer edge of the salt licks already in use. It was amazing. The deer devoured it in 2 days or less.

Have you tried Vanilla extract?

Plain old 50 lb white salt block,draws the Deer in year round,also tried a new lick called the Arm & Hammer Salt Lick and I have also used the "Lucky Buck" minerals and the Deer really like it and it has a higher mineral content than most other mineral on the market!



Arm & Hammer Salt Lick
Take a 55 oz ( 3 lb 7 oz) box of Arm & Hammer all natural Super Washing Soda in the yellow box and about 20-30 lbs of rock salt or even water softener salt pelts,pick a good spot where You can break up the ground with a shovel in a 4 foot by 4 foot area/circle or smaller.Spread about 1/2 the A&H on top of the well broken up soil then take around 20-30lbs of salt and spread it on top of the A&H,then spread the rest of the A&H Soda on top of the salt.You can add a little more A&H and salt a few months later or as needed.We usually add some corn,acorn rage or other attractant so the Deer find the A&H Salt lick,be sure to follow any Game Laws in Your State regarding using any minerals or bait/grain type materials.

I just piss all over the ground around my camera :D

Never tried vanilla. Lol but u all have great ideas
