Trail cam bait

[-JR-]

Looking forward in setting up a trail cam for some deer pictures.
Whats the best deer feed/bait to use when setting up.

apples, oats, grain, salt lick......

What do you want pictures of?
From my experience and that of some others I have talked to, a camera on a bait will get you 100 or so pictures of a couple of does who find your bait. And maybe a buck if you are lucky.

Bucks will visit scrape sights all year long (not necessarily to scrape but to smell). And they will follow the same trails with rub trees along them that they followed last year. These are better places to put trail cams if you want pictures of bucks.

Water holes can be good natural places to put cams and are great places to bow hunt over in the early season.

Make a mineral / salt lick near a water hole and you will have thousands of pictures. I have realy good sucsess with a product call Rack Up, They just love it, The bucks cant get enough of it from may to aug. Putting up cameras on scrape lines & rub lines is good also but you will get WAY more pictures over a lick. From my exsperince i set the cameras over licks till aug 15th then move them to field edges, packed deer trails going to feeding areas. I move some cameras over scrape lines and rub lines from middle oct to end of the season. Depending how many cameras you have you will get litterly thousands of pictures doing this, At least i have.

pick up a bag of oats and dump some Buck Jam on top of the pile and stumps... and any salt lick will work
