got about 10 game cams out, and have used shell corn, ear corn, acron rage, cmere deer, and the trophy rock, all work well for me, whats the best trail/game cam bait you guys seem to like?
Re: bait...
Trophy Rock is a supplement Jan through late spring or until it runs out. Corn works until the acorns fall. Corn with acorn rage can keep them around somewhat, but it's rough when I'm hunting in a canopy of oaks. Feeder Frenzy stuff is ok scattered with some corn.
Most of the time now I just use alfalfa pellets with corn, and a trophy rock nearby. They kill the stuff. Go to your local feed store for it. Not the cow cubes, pellets.

Re: bait...
In NY you can't bait. You can hunt over a corn field(man planted it), but pick a dozen ears and walk them in the woods 25 yrds and put them under your tree stand and your baiting. Go Figure! Can't feed the animals even in the worst winters...Baiting! The only thing we can feed is the little twitty birds, but Hey! Those bears sure like bird seed!!

Same thing! Sou can hunt in or around an apple tree. Apples drop straight down, not over by your stand 50 yrds from an apple tree on the scrape line you set up on!!
"But Officer, The damn squirrels put those apples in that neat little pile behind that log!"

Re: bait...
i'm just talking about bait to get game to come in to the cam, its illegal here to bait unless you feed/bait all yr long when hunting, but i can bait a trail cam (pre-season) just for pics.

Understood. Sorry if I kind of hijacked the thread. Putting any kind of bait or attractant like salt or corn or minerals for any purpose on your property is illegal here if the property is hunted. Like you can't put out something for your camera in April and then hunt that property come fall. What is funny though is that I can plant a food plot like Biologic or one of those and hunt in the middle of that!!
Go Figure those dang liberals anyway!

Re: bait...
no hijacking, nice to know what states allow and don't allow baiting even during hunting season, like you said set your stand in a apple tree or right beside your biologic field and let em rip.

Re: bait...
I bring apples and apple juice. For me.
Technically, even tossing the apple core is illegal baiting. They can see an apple core, but apple juice is a whole 'nother matter.
On the subject of baiting, what not to put down is also important. I carry an empty 1 liter Saline Bottle for urine, nice big cap and mouth.

When I'm up north each fall I eat a can of sardines for lunch and dump the juice on a nearby stump hoping to attract a bear....hasn't worked yet, but I have had a few Fishers wonder in and give me the evil eye!

Re: bait...
Sorghum Syrup from Down South really works well in the Northern States. I also like Apple Cider and Molasses mixed together over a scrape.

I'll bet that works very well. Deer Candy! Also, nearer the season, peanut butter works well. However, not easy to find the cheaper stuff these days, and you need to place it carefully or the coons and squirrels will get to it before the deer.

Re: bait...
Peanut butter! I once had a deer that would not stay out of my garden. I tried all the "deer away" sprays and such, to no avail. This old farmer told me to put up an electric fence, just one strand mind you. He said to smear the wire with peanut butter and turn it on. About 10pm on the first night my wife and I were relaxing in front of the TV and we heard this blood curdling half scream, half bleat. I ran to the window and there was that deer trying to run across the yard with its nose plowing grass! Never seen her again!
Moral of the story is...Never touch your wet tongue to an electric fence!

Re: bait...
Sprinkle clover seed and let it grow for next year. It's bait, it renews itself, it doesn't dry up and blow away, and isn't so obvious.

Re: bait...
thought of that i'm just afraid the deer and elk will hammer it befor it gets a chance to mature and i'll have big dead spots, if i had the $$$ i would fence it off for a while, we plant food plots some up to 40 acres or so of corn and honey sorghum, the corn wont even pollinate to produce ears cause the elk and deer eat it so fast, never gets over knee high.
