mountaingoat08 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Hows everyone getting good trail camera pics? Are you just finding a good funnel? or working a water hole? maybe a good bedding area? Just curious for some pointers before I set my first ones up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturegirl Report post Posted July 12, 2012 water is great. I've had bulls coming in day and night but it makes your cameras a little more susceptible to theft so we try to limit water. we've been concentrating on heavily used trails and funnels mostly and been getting lots of pics of elk, deer, bears, turkey, bobcats, and coyotes. been an active couple months with cameras. totally amazed at the amount of bears this year. I put salt down over the weekend on 1 cam so we will see if it makes a difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ready2hunt Report post Posted July 12, 2012 I use mineral blocks myself and seem to get the best results of those and they dont stand out as much. IMO they last longer especially in places where the snow pack hits hard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLW Report post Posted July 12, 2012 when you put down an attractant ie. food/salt they will start hitting it and then they tell their friends and they tell their friends and so on. LOL! seriously though, sometimes a salt spot will take some time to develop into a great spot! a good trail to water has been working good for me.
