smittty Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 When I first started this site the first two weeks it was all bucks. Like five different ones and two that where worth watching. Then they disappeared. It’s been all doe”s and fawns for the last few weeks no bucks at all. I’m thinking all the sweets lucky buck and molases whore off and the bucks ain’t interested in the minerals it self. Think I’ll try freshen it up some this week
Lunatic Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Very common on my two mineral sites. Bucks will show up, stay a day, two or a week and then they are gone. There are so many food sources right now they can be anywhere and love well.
hammer4reel Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 IMO bucks don’t like the minerals as much when they are dry . I see much better buck Counts when the mineral hole has water in it .
BHC Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 all the rack bucks I have on camera disappear between 5-14 days then return.....your bucks are not far
Greybeard Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 They're moving around from bait site to bait site, not being tied down with fawns. When they get a craving again for lucky buck they will stop by, go elsewhere for buck jam until they are tired of that, and stay for a while at another site until they had enough of deer cane. then onto a rage stage for a variety of flavors, trophy rack when the hormones kick in, and corn when they want to fatten up instead of looking good for the girls.
archer36 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 There's going to be a lot of changes between now and the hunting season. I notice a huge difference in just a few weeks before the season opens. I wouldn't get excited or disappointed in anything you see now.
BHC Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Smitty they love the minerals I put out, I must freshen up every month.....I put 4 gallons ( two empty Luck Buck buckets) of my mixture with one bucket (1 gallon) of Lucky Buck mix it very well.....they only slow down during the heat of the day
Buck154 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Refresh it and add a little corn to it. They will be back.

Greybeard Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 7 minutes ago, BHC said: if in bear country corn will bring the bears One of the main reasons I've stayed away from baiting when hunting. Bad enough walking into them in the dark and having them coming in or around my natural blinds as it is.
Rusty Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 I have the opposite here, several bucks are hitting the salt regularly but I haven't seen a doe yet. But we have more bucks than does here so that's to be expected.
