    We used "red eye mix" this year. Apparently, wolves love it. Bitch and pups rolling around in it. Deer liked it until the wolves showed up. The elk were into it too.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    I agree with you thoughts I have witnessed the same effects over my years right now I don't get mr big on the trail cameras anymore it all starts within the last two weeks of Aug ,,one thing I do know is that there still somewhere within this area and its up to me to try and find there bedroom..

    Most times I use the blue alkaline block salt the lose alkaline salt works great to get the salt into the ground after a few rains....

    Just picked up my camera yesterday , first year using a trail cam , I used a sugar cane block and got my first ever pics of big game ! Had this buck coming twice a day . Not a big buck but this is from region two , less than 400 m from a main fsr. http://s1077.photobucket.com/user/Ri...u8s.jpeg.html][/URL]

    Your right I have tried the brown and the deer elk don't like the brown as much as the cobalt salt blue..

    I used primos red spot blocks this year and had lots of bucks from April until the middle of July, but last time I checked the camera none of the bucks that had been there since April were there. first year using cameras, is this normal for blacktails?
