scents and trail cameras
Not sure if this has been tried before on this forum. A few buddies that have trail cameras set up in the area and I are going to each place ONE Brand of attractant out in front of our respective trail cameras and see what will actually bring them in. I'm trying the doe urine buck bomb. One remote camera is going to have ammonia in front of it (old guy swears buy it). Im hoping the cameras will give us the ground truth about all the products out there. I have never really had any luck with the scents that I have bought and I'm tired of pissing away my money (no pun intended), Would appreciate any tips or ideas on this little research project. Thank you in advance.

Thie isn't a tip but I saw someone dissolve "C'mere Deer" in water and spray surrounding vegetation and bushes around theirs. I don't know if this would work.
I'd say I would try it but it is probably illegal in Michigan and of course I wouldn't do anything illegal.

I understand about the seasons. We are not going to use any deer based attractants until deer season opens. In the past we have already found out that c'mere deer didn't have any results for us, either does blue or brown mineral/salt licks. What they do like out my way is the flavored licks from TSC. The little apple flavored blocks (I think they are called sweet licks). The camera had pictures of deer(does/fawns) licking at it last Dec.

Butch: Does your hunting area have apples? I've stopped trying to use food type scents in areas that don't produce the scent naturally. While I've heard of deer living around apple orchards coming right in and sticking their noses right on the burning apple scent sticks, I've seen them spooked by that scent in other areas.
Adrian: Are you with Code Blue? I'll be at Al's on that Friday night. See you there!
For all you other Eastern Ontario guys: Al's Corner Store, (old hwy 17 at Galleta Side road, between the old Antrim Truck Stop and Arnprior), is a great little hunting shop and Excalibur Dealer. They're having a big sale 11-13 September. They will also have a range set up out back to let people try out Excalibur crossbows. No affiliations - just a happy customer.
