Mineral Lick Pics
« on: June 24, 2009, 08:41:36 pm »
just set my trail cam up about four days ago and it's looking good!  so far it looks like i have a six, eight, and a heck of a ten pointer, with his tongue covered with mud, coming to my lick.  not to mention all the does.  eddie, steve, and wade these pics were taken under the persimmon tree in the corner of the field.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

yep eddie, that's the spot.  i'm going to hang a lock on or ladder down wind for next season, if i can find a spot.  the only tree down wind is that crooked basswood or the chinaberry.

Is that the persimmon tree on the right just inside the field? You had a ground blind set up there that I sat one day.

pat, i may have to set a ground blind there again as the trees are twisted downwind of the persimmon.  the only downside is, the persimmon is 22 yards from the blind. 

eddie from the pics, it looks like the deer are coming from across the old RR bed from the right in the pics and from the cut to the left.  there are some hot trails going in both directions.  should be a hot spot this fall.  the persimmon looks like it'll be full again this year.

  It's funny, down here a deer won't pay any attention to salt or mineral blocks.  Hmmm, looking like a road trip?

I appreciate you pre-seasoning the meat for me. You got the salt covered, now you need to put out a pepper block and a bucket of garlic. ;D There was a good trail last year coming across the railroad bed. If you can find out where they're coming from, the best bet would be to cut 'em off before they get to the field. Bet those pines are still growing good?
