well as deer season approaches i find myself without a promising place to hunt. about the beginning of june to the end of july i had VERY heavy deer activity on my mineral site, three at least 3.5 year old deer, and many other young bucks(15 total). the activity died shortly by the beginning of august so i moved my camera to try and find a new place to hunt. after moving the camera once a week i had nothing. each week no pictures but moving bushes..
fast forward to last weekend, my dads friend at work gave him a bag of acorn rage. he asked me to put it out in front of a camera. So, seeing as i had no new spot i planned on hunting opening day i put out the rage at my mineral site(sept 15 thursday) along with the camera.
i just checked my camera today and i have 100 pictures of 2 of the 3 shooters, and one new shooter.. and another 5-10 different young bucks. they were on the acorn rage and the mineral starting friday morning the 16th. all day pictures. by saturday morning not a single picture and none the entire week until today (sept 22) im losing my mind....
the only positive this tells me is that the bucks must be traveling close to my mineral site because they were able to smell it and wipe it out in a day. other than that, unfortunately my hopes are down for that spot
