Title: Neighborhood Blacktails part 2
Post by: lilswab on May 22, 2010, 04:53:23 PM: Once again I just got some great pictures of my neighborhood bucks. :rockin: I was pretty sure I had at least 3 bucks on my first camera setup. I thought I lowered it enough to get a better view of the bucks, but once again It seemed to miss them and get just ears and some of the racks :bash:.

Since then I added another camera, sitting on a saltlick covered with a block topper. It worked well and I got some nice pictures. I now have confirmed 4 bucks visiting my setup. One small buck and the other three bucks look to have good potential. I get happy when I see big blacktails! :IBCOOL: The one with good eyeguards definetly has my attention. :drool: I also got pictures of 1 opossum and raccoon visiting my saltlick setup.

The trail camera addiction is in full swing. :tup: Thanks for looking.

Post by: ridgefire on May 23, 2010, 12:49:45 PM: what kind of lick are you using and what is a block topper. just set up my trail camera for the first time last night and not sure what the best attractant is for blacktails

Post by: lilswab on May 23, 2010, 08:58:14 PM: Ridgefire, Here is the link that has information about block topper.
http://store.evolved.com/home/products/habitat/attractants/Itemnumbertwo.aspx (http://store.evolved.com/home/products/habitat/attractants/Itemnumbertwo.aspx)

I don't know if this is best for blacktails. :dunno: I have heard many things that work best and from my conversations with people that seem to know what they are talking about. Apples seem to be the best attractant. I haven't used apples before, but I will put some out next time I check my cameras. I actually ordered the block topper for whitetails when I lived in Pullman, but I never got a chance to try it out. Basically, you put out a saltlick of any kind and cover it with block topper and it makes like a candy coat over the saltlick. Seems to be a good idea and as far as my pictures show the deer came in to check it out. :twocents:

The block/saltlick I used was an apple flavored saltlick made by evolved habitat. I figured that since I didn't have apples I might as well use apple flavor. :twocents:

Let me know what works for you?

Hitman...I wish I had room for you to help take out some deer but I think this will be my honey hole for now. What awesome spot do you have to share with me? I might be willing to trade spots...whatcha got for elk problems that I can help you with :bumpin:

Ben, get those pictures...Are you hunting muzzy for both seasons this year?

Post by: Blsum on May 23, 2010, 09:17:28 PM: Mike already posted the pictures from today. Looks like we got a dink and one with some hope. As far as hunting this year, Yep strictly muzzy for me. I just ordered some deer cane and some rack-up mineral. We will have to see how it all works out. Definitely bit by the bug :chuckle:
