Me and a friend hunted public land some this past season. We have decided we both want to start hunting public land more, he is wanting to put out cameras next week and leave them out until September. Do any of ya'll put out cameras on Public land in the summer? If so, what do you do to get deer in front of them? Only thing I can think of is a mock scrape or to just find a creek crossing and hope for the best. Thanks for any input.

I did last year. Look for tracks on old logging roads or load outs. I got several bucks in one area and got lucky and killed the biggest one during the rut. I would pull or hide the camera when it gets closer to people roaming about because there are some that can't resist taking something that is not theirs.

Heavy trails/crossings. But a Salt lick it what you seek, They will be using them consistently till it gets cold. It’s what I keep my cams on and I get thousands of pics.
