Nope. I should have got the camera out but I was alone and figured I may get a shot at one of the big ones. And my hands were already cold. 
Baiting, what's it mean to you?

I've got a bobcat scoop of corn in the back of my truck right now...I'll be putting it out tomorrow.
Got a pile going again behind the house. Let's see if we can keep the dog out of it. This pile is a bit farther from the yard. I e got a couple buddies looking for their first kills and another needing some meat. I hope it works out for them.

With winter finally showing up, I wish I had a card in the cam over that pile... Would be nice to get an inventory of what made it.

So Is it Illegal To hunt Over a Trophy Rock site in Ohio ? The Rock has been there for 2 months and they have completely Licked it to nothing so the rock technically isn't there anymore but I'm sure there is still mineral in the ground.

The Trophy Rock or any mineral site will be nearly useless to hunt over in the fall. The mineral sites are used mostly during spring and summer. Bucks use them mostly during antler development and does use them mostly while nursing fawns. Mineral sites are best used as a tool to inventory your herd with a trail camera.

Thanks for the info but yeah I rarely hunt a Mineral in the fall and mainly just use it for inventory in the summer, I was just wondering cause I video a lot of my hunts and it wouldn't be a good idea to video a hunt in Ohio with a big mineral sight in the background if it was illegal to use lol.

Here is My 2 Cents on this baiting deal. I've killed a lot of deer in their Natural setting and killed a lot of em over bait. Im with a lot of you when you say its same as food plots ect. My opinion, its just as hard if not harder to kill a mature deer over a Corn Pile than the natural patterns.. I've hunted in KY all my life so its always been legal to bait deer. My Pet Peeve is when I hear someone say its easy, cheating or unethical to kill a deer over bait, bugs the hell out of me and the majority of those ppl have never really done it. When hunting deer in their natural setting your still trying to beat the elements, playing the wind, scent, weather ect. but take that and times it by 10 when hunting over a corn pile. The mature deer are always at high alert, more spookier, and when they come to a corn pile its rarely in the daylight and almost always downwind. So you gotta work just as hard if not harder to kill mature deer over bait. Only thing I got against baiting is people will drop a corn pile 1 day a week for the whole year and continue to do so when this only hurts the herd causing more CWD and fucks up their diet and organs from a constant Carb Overload. Its best to quit to corn pile as soon as winter is over and wean the deer off of it.
