Hey Harvey,

Part of the text didn't get into the link. Cut and paste all the text into your browser and you'll see the pics.

I went to pull my camera after a couple weeks and it only had two pics. It's in Southern MN and it's been so dry that my mineral is still on the stump after two weeks. I'm not sure if the deer want much salt this year with the lack of rain. Either that or there aren't too many deer in the area or my camera isn't working great.

Anyways here are two little bucks.

[slimngrizzly]

I have 3 cameras out as often as possible, This year Ive been getting a lot of bucks but only a few good ones so far. They usually dont show up a lot until the crops get out,but theres always a few in the right spots Enjoy!

I was happy to see this buck but hoping to get a better pic...

I didnt expect it to be this good!!

cropped...

I think hes ok... in that 120's area anyway?

The close shots are with the Cabelas Moultrie 4.0 Outfitter the night is with a Cuddeback (obviously).

[slimngrizzly]

Heres a few of the other juniors that are hanging around, maybe good ones someday. They sure like the apples right now! Rascals...

Once they get that sweet taste in thier mouth they never go away!

[slimngrizzly]

Finaly a SMOKER comes in! This is with a Moultrie. In 3 days I had over 60 pics of porky here. Looks like hes got a little droptine started on the left beam??? He loves them apples and the camera dont matter a bit

Get so close I can see all the beading in your horns!!! I love it!

Hes older, got one heck of a gut on him...

That is AWESOME!

Finally got to my cameras after 6+ weeks.

All 3 cams had full memory cards. So no pics at all in the past week to 2 weeks for them all.

The best I can tell is at least 8 different bucks on camera.

Sadly, nearly every pic of bucks is at night except the one attached and one other. Already nocturnally moving, and not even pressured by hunting yet. Argh! Not again this year.

[Nova]

them are some nice pics BLB, what are they feeding on there? Looks like a very nice bachler group.

[Mark Christianson]

Salted sunflower seeds.

[TrophyEyes]

Are you serious? Salted Sunflower seeds? What flavor do they like the best, BBQ, Dill, or original? I guess they like salt and they get nutrition from the seeds, its not completely out of question.

[Mark Christianson]

I got 500 lbs for free, and feed the animals with them.

I suppose I will have pics of a bunch of guys with beers in their hands digging through my seed piles now.

[TrophyEyes]

I work with/for Davids Sunflower Seeds so I am going to have to get some.... for Free of course. I am a little skeptical, but it seems to be working. I may mix them in with some apples and see what I see.

[Mark Christianson]

You have nothing to be skeptical about...

The deer love the salted in shell seeds. I had a 256 MB card full of images overlooking seeds. This doe is drooling, she loves them so much.

[so haaad]

Do the deer spit the shells out the window, or into a cup???

Where or how do you get/buy salted sunflower seeds like that in bulk?

[Mark Christianson]

My buddy makes flavored seeds, and he had this batch of 500 lbs that he said were stale, so he gave them to me.

He gets them from Red River Seed or something like that.

No clue where you would get them in bulk salted otherwise.

You can get sunflower for wildlife at Fleet or any Ag store. But its not very good on the budget to be feeding deer with it if you ask me.

I just got lucky to have a connection on it.

[TrophyEyes]

I know that David Seeds has a baseball team bucket at Walmart. I am going to buy the big bags at Walmart for about $3. Now here is the question for everyone. Once the season starts and you can't bait for deer, but who is to say you can't eat them in the stand? I suppose if they are enticed by the smell, it could attract game still. Same with apples and apple cores? What would be the ruling on that one. I suppose if we go to much more into this conversation we should move it to a new post.

[Mark Christianson]

Deep thoughts.

I cant wait to see reports in the Cuffs and Collars in Outdoor News:

"Man ticketed for eating an egg salad sandwich, and dropped some of the lettuce on the ground while archery hunting."

Back to the topic. Trail cam pics!

[rippinlips]

lol

[Rotwieler]

hope to see this next month (stealthcam 3.0)

[Rotwieler]

if i could have one thing for christmas it would be this guy on the wall!!! (stealthcam 2.0)

[lungslicer]

Nice bucks Rot! It looks like you are getting some quality photos. I suppose your hoping to top the nice ones you got last year. Sandman

[Nova]

here are few I got before I brought the camera up north to the hunting shack. See if you can tell which buck needs to be managed out of the herd

[CodyDawg]

Neither! I have heard that studies are now saying spikes have just as much potential as forks or sixes to become big bucks and that it is an old wives tale to think they won't.
