Trail Camera Location Salt Site 1
I placed a trail camera here to capture some of the heavy deer traffic that is evident at a mineral supplement site I installed in the spring of 2013. I started it with a Lucky Buck powder product and that worked fine, the deer and critters visited it somewhat. That stuff smells amazing! Smells like apple candy! I tried it, tastes like salt. Duh.
Then I tried out a 25 lb. farm type animal compressed feed block ("SportsMans Deer Block" by Stockade) that was a disaster (thanks a lot Don :)). The rain dissolved the block into a puddle and the remains putrified into a muddy looking mess that smelled, no joke, 90% like human feces. After digging all that horribleness out into buckets and dumping it far away, I now keep the spot going with Trophy Rocks that the deer absolutely love. This spot is just off the main Northern E/W trail on our tiny 5 acre parcel, the trail goes roughly East-West. Lots of deer tracks in the mud here and mud on the vegetation on the deer trails leading into the spot indicate reasonably heavy and consistent use. |
