That's what I'd do.


The bag of corn is the real secret to this equation thumbup


thumbup My logic is that I'm probably gonna put the camera in an un-obvious place, so I would need something (corn) to make the deer get in front of it. Of course, a bag of corn weighs 40lbs, so you've got to consider how you're gonna tote em in there. The better idea, now that I think about it, might be to put a mineral block or something there. But again, I don't think I'd do this during season.

I too used one on Cheaha Mountain (NF) a couple of years ago, from mid-Sept till basically the week before gun season opened (nobody hunts the flippin' NF during bow season! LOL). What I wasn't shocked to discover is that there just weren't many deer, and it wasn't worth my time to keep totin' them %^#$#@ bags of corn in there. In all that time, I got one picture of one buck that I would've actually killed. But son there were turkeys by the millions it seemed.
