    What attractants do you guys use for getting pics of deer and not other animals like squirrels, coons and crows?

    Bitlife21, I use deer cain, and the deer around my area love it, but to avoid other animals i think is almost impossible, if you browse around on all the guys trail cam pics there is always another kind of animal usually, i dont think the deer really care because, alot of the pics they get there around at the same time.

    go with a diluted Doe or Buck urine. This time of year deer get a little Curious as their Testosterone starts to climb and might pull them in a little closer to your camera. don't over do it though

    Shortly , you'll start finding some Fresh Rubs and Scrapes. Set up there>

    In the spring i use mineral licks (had moderate success this year), in the summer i monitor trails, in the fall i use scrapes (best by far) and in the winter i monitor trails again.

    Its worked for me.
