I know that that opening day of white-tailed deer season is still a ways off in most states, but this is a great time to build an inventory of the bucks on your hunting property!
The best way I know to get decent trail cam photos this time of year is by using minerals and/or attractants. My favorite deer attractant Is definitely Big & J, BB2. By using this granular blend, I can not only get great photos, but it also helps with the overall health and quality of my local deer herd. The BB2 blend can be effective any time of year, but I find that the deer in my home area, especially the bucks, really hit it quickly when I put it out in late summer/early September.
One of my favorite places to put out minerals and attractants is in front of my trail cams placed on the edge of well established food plots. This is where there is typically the most deer traffic. Another top choice is along any major deer trail leading between their preferred food sources and bedding areas.
Be sure to check your state and local hunting regulations regarding feed and attractants.
Good luck this deer season and be safe!
