No cover was the first problem, guessing pressure next.

LOL, whatever, mature bucks are all over the internet including this forum in NE WA standing in bait pile, some only corn... Maybe pick a better photo when ya try to get a point across and no one will assume.

My biggest gripe is fawn season.
I always figured the trace mineral salt helped out in the spring.
I'd been more happy with a ban just during the season.
September - December.
I feel more of a need to bait in the spring vs the fall.
I don't need to hunt over it,I want to do my part. Help the herd .
Little pre-season scouting.
So that's the bummer for me.
Always loved those fawn pics,deer putting on that healthy buck skin coat quick after winter.
Couple of my recipes for deer attractant. I was thinking of bagging it and selling it. That thought ended quickly.
I was gonna bag it in gallon ziplock and sell it.
That dream is gone.

for the record I’m 100% against the bait ban. I stopped using it because I realized it wasn’t helping me with my goals. I’d still prefer to be able to supplement the deer with feed and minerals for heard health. It’s of my opinion that cwd has always been here and always will be. We only “found“ because we tested for it.
It’s been my experience that yes mature bucks will hit bait in the dark. Rarely in shooting light

When ranchers graze on public land don’t they use mineral blocks for their cattle? What is preventing you from hunting it? What would they say if you added to the cattle blocks? What if you dropped your own mineral blocks for cattle? After all cows lives matter too.
