ive been hitting the woods lately doing some scouting and setting up trail cameras. i found an area with some good sign and runs, so i put up the camera and a small amount of corn (just enough to get them to stop) i got a few pics but when the corn is gone the deer dont come arround anymore what should i do diffrently
thanks

Find a spot that has two paths about 20 to 30 yards apart.
And put a mineral rock between them.
That is how my camera is set up.
When I had a mineral rock there I got some really good pictures.
I need to get another mineral rock, but no one around here has them yet.

I always try to point my cams north or south to prevent sun problems, also if there is a food plot of any kind I like to put my cams on edge of woods or just inside woods leading to food plot, also if you put out a mineral rock put it where they feel secure. Good luck Scoot

Don't forget to dig a small hole for that rock... Cause everytime I set them out they end up pushing em around right out of the camera shot

Really the wrong time of year to be starting a salt lick (please dont call them minerals, they are just salt licks, and no, trace minerals dont make it a deer mineral). They will start to back off of them about time the velvet sheds, and even more as the leaves drop. Start one in spring and it can be good bait all summer long.

My buddies and I have always have had great success putting them along major pinch points and alongside beans fields in the early season.

I always try to aim mine down a trail so the deer gets more picture time.
