Here is a small technique that is even better than salt.
To verify if your have local bucks in your area, make a false scrape
late in the spring at trails intersection or in an area occupied by deers. If there’s a buck that sees this naked area,
he won’t resist at leaving his scent and his tracks in the scrape. A game
camera will do the rest. No lure or
apple, only a small naked area under a branch.
You may repeat this strategy in all your sectors by leaving your game
cameras in place for 2 weeks.
Have a
good day. Louis
