Be careful with apples, you might end up getting a lot of predators.:yeah:
That is an apple in this dude's mouth. Coyotes will eat as many apples as deer if given a chance.

I don't know how well they work for blacktails but the trophy rock works great for whitetails in Stevens county. Sunday afternoon I had 4 different bucks an 5 does (or small spike bucks....could have been both :dunno: ) come in to one I put out last year. They can go through them pretty fast but once they know they are there just keep them replenished and they will keep coming back.
Are those trophy rocks scented, and how long did it take before you started getting activity on it?

Scented? I don't believe so. I watched a show on how they get them. They are blasted from down in the earth. I believe they are all natural mineral. As for how long before they start getting hit I am not sure. I put some on my property in spring time and left them. a few months later when I went back they were getting hit on a reguler basis. Most will last about a year or so and when they are gone they animals will dig into the dirt to get what the rain took of of them. I have 3 out and replenish them every year.

I believe baiting is unethical. It's not "hunting" if you sit in a tree stand and put out some deer candy.
good for you buddy. :pee:

No no ;) But you come across as very arrogant. So i put a monkey pissing your opinion. Thats all. So carry on with your never used a scope or scent cover , sneaking up on deers and throwing rocks at them methods. To each their own buddy. :tup:The fact is, 99% of "hunters" don't have the skills to actually stalk and hunt game animals. Even the books by "experts" are a big joke, filled with tips on tree stands and ground blinds. They have no idea how to tread quietly through the forest. Nor can they follow animal signs and tracks. It's a lost art, given up to lazy "hunters" who sit in a tree stand and put out a bushel of apples or a salt lick 75 yards away. Then they use their overly powerful super scoped rifle and just wait for the deer to come along. Their success rates reach near 100% every season. My success rate is less than 20%. My success in WA is at 0%. But for me it's about the hunt, the chase, and the thrill of being in the wilderness. I'm a hunter, not a killer.

Sounds like you kinda suck at what you do. I know plenty of people that dont use bait, tree stands or high powered scoped rifles and have a very high success rate. Mostly archery hunters who get much closer than 50yds. :stup:I could take a deer every year if I wanted. I have had many in my sights that I could have shot, but didn't. Just knowing that I could have pulled that trigger is enough sometimes. But I won't take every fork horn I come across. Like I said, it's about the hunt, not the kill.
