    So I went and changed cards and had a nice eight a spike and about 100 does on cam along with a 1000 pics of horses. They found my mineral site and both piles of corn I put out. Has anyone hunted around horses before. I need some tips on keeping them away from the mineral and corn. I just hope all the doe's bring in the bucks during the rut. This is new land to me this year I know their there because I watch them in the field across the road while I drink coffee on the deck in the mornings

    Well you could be like me. I have a nice little spot in the suburbs that I could aways see a couple deer and was good for taking a doe for some meat in the freezer. I put over 100 lbs and 2 jars of peanut butter and have 0 pics of deer, 4 raccoons, and 6 kids walking by.

    What I would do is put the camera on a trail and not on a bait pile. Find a good set of tracks and let it sit for a couple of weeks.

    Camera action

    I'm having the opposite problem. I've seen 5 does that I can tell and at least 25 different bucks. Lots of smaller ones but 4 good ones. Gonna be a good time, but a bit worried if there aren't any does hanging out.
