Title: deer bait when snow is about to fall
Post by: vandeman17 on October 25, 2013, 11:30:48 AM: I am heading up tomorrow to the NE corner to hang a few stands and put up a few cameras. I am going to bring up some feed to put out in front of the cameras but can't decide what to get. There isn't any snow on the ground now but I am sure by the week of turkey day there will be. I was thinking just my normal stuff but not sure how productive it will be when it gets covered with snow. I considered trying to put it closer to trees and under a bit of cover but that will limit the places I can put my cameras. Thoughts?

That's a name brand that everybody uses around here.
