Trail camera survey baits
« on: July 14, 2016, 05:36:29 PM »
Hey there everybody, I was wondering if you guys had any success using cracked or whole corn with Black-tails in the PNW? I'm not sure if the cracked corn would mold or if it's not as good of quality? Let me know what you guys think. Let me know at what time of year you guys had the most success. Oh and one more thing do the deer around my area like Molasses at all?
Thanks!
Jeremy

P.S Here's the links to what I'm planning on getting
https://www.farmstore.com/product/grainland-select-whole-corn-50-lb

Do you think this would work well to? (it's a lot cheaper :P )

Wet cob. Mule deer and elk love it. Can't think a blacky wouldn't like it.

I had problems with wet cob molding in August on the Westside when the animals didn't find it fast enough.

What time of year did they consume the most?

Bears absolutely love the stuff.   :bash:

They eat the wet cob or molasses grain blocks all
Summer and fall where I'm at. Eastern Washington. They'll eat one of the blocks in 2-4 days easy.

I tried it a couple of years ago in my backyard and in the woods.  It all molded.  I couldn't get them to eat deer chow either.  I think there' too much yummy food available elsewhere to get much success with a food BT don't normally eat - especially in early summer when there's tons of food available for them.  I believe you have to mix the corn or chow with something else to train them to eat the mix.  Life is too short....   Find an apple tree.
