Baiting for Trail Cam

[FeniQuest217]

It's a highly debated topic as people bring in all sorts good points. I'm curious on what you use for baiting - or baiting just for your trail cam? I'm leaning on just grabbing a few different bags and putting a pile of the off the shelf stuff. If you're buying something please name the product, thanks!

Acorn Rage?

Acorns falling from your backyard?

Just a corn pile? 

Your own natural mix?

Salt block?

I usually spread out some lithium batteries to bait a trail cam . Works all the time .   Good luck !

I put nothing in front of may cameras with exception of minerals March through August. 
During hunting season I place cams where I expect deer to be, trails, river crossings, pinch points, rubs and scrapes.

If in bear country anything like corn, apples,  sweet will attract them. Lucky Buck is apple scented bears may smell it but will move on

I dropped about 10# of corn at each camera I set up last week. Once I have an interest in a site (due to something I want to hunt on cam) I will use a half of a food block that will last a few days to see if the buck is visiting regularly or just when food is available. The food last about 3 days but I won't check cam for 7 or more days.  I note what direction the buck is coming from and what other food sources are in that direction or if coming directly from a bedding area.
